  • Square dedicated to Anna Lindh.
    Sweden's much-admired Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh, who was slain by an unbalanced Serbian attacker in 2003 in Stockholm, was honored again by having a corner in Sweden's capital named for her.

  • The location, on the corner of Götgatan and Vårtoftagatan, is on Södermalm island, a central district in Stockholm. The dedication ceremony was lightly attended by currently politically active Swedish dignitaries, including Carin Jämtin and Mona Sahlin.

  • Lindh lived several years in the Södermalm area and is buried nearby in Stockholm's Katarina Church cemetery. Previously in 2004, a monolithic statue was placed at Medborgarplatsen square, where Lindh delivered her last speech in her life about a week before her death. Her speech was in support of Sweden's adoption of the Euro common monetary system, which was subsequently turned down by voters.
