Not far from present-day Uppsala lie the ancient ruins of the old settlement which have been used since Viking times.
Gamla Uppsala, Swedish for Old Uppsala, is the place where a settlement was built in the 5th century CE. It nowadays consists of several mounds, or burial hills, and a cathedral which was built on the spot of a former pagan temple. This was also the site where ancient rites were performed. These rites were bloody events which took place every 9 years and lasted 9 days; they included sacrificing both humans and animals.
