Saint George


Saint George and his dragonslaying is an image that we Europeans are quite accustomed to, atleast in the christian countries, as he is a christian hero.
Of course Stockholm has a statue of him, even quite a few of them. This one is located at Österlånggatan in the old town and is a replica of a wooden statue located in the big church also in the old town.
And as most other statues, it depicts old saint George killing a dragon.
