Brief Description
"A former Viking site on the island of Gotland, Visby was the main centre of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic from the 12th to the 14th century. Its 13th-century ramparts and more than 200 warehouses and wealthy merchants' dwellings from the same period make it the best-preserved fortified commercial city in northern Europe."
汉萨同盟城市维斯比
"维斯比原为哥得兰岛上的海盗据点，12世纪至14世纪成为波罗的汉萨同盟城市的中心。维斯比拥有13世纪的堡垒以及同时期的200多座仓库以及大量贸易设施，这些使之成为北欧保存最完好的商业防御城市。"
