Not far from present-day Uppsala lie the ancient ruins of the old settlement which have been used since Viking times.
The cathedral nowadays is the most remarkable sight of Gamla Uppsala. King Eric was decapitated here in the 12th century, after which he became a hero. It was only when the former cathedral burned down in the 13th century, that Uppsala was transferred to its present location - the name included. This was only possible after the pope gave his blessing for the change. King Eric's remains were taken to the cathedral in modern-day Uppsala.
