We invite our students on a city walk with the university guide Mikael Norrby!

Ageing and sickness were part of life also 600 years ago, but even if most of the treatments back in the day seem inexplicable and barbaric to us today, there were also some elements that are quite familiar – hospitals, nursing homes and seniors assisted housing all existed in the 14th century Visby.

Join the university guide Mikael Norrby on this walking tour on the subject of medieval healthcare, estimated to 90 minutes.

The guided tour will be in English and is free of charge for our students.

Start at the main entrance, Cramérgatan 3.

Welcome!

Ps. Denna guidade tur på svenska lördag 7 februari.
