Uppsala Cathedral front entrance: The construction of this massive cathedral was begun in the mid-13th century (mid-1200s), and was not completed until 1435. It was last restored in 1971-1976. It is built in the shape of a cross, with an external length of 118.7 meters (356 feet). The inside ceiling height is 27 meters (81 feet). I must say that my main reason for visiting this cathedral was that Carl von Linné was buried here.Uppsala Cathedral front entrance: The construction of this massive cathedral was begun in the mid-13th century (mid-1200s), and was not completed until 1435.
