Once the first suburb of Gothenburg, Haga has grown into a cosy district right under the hill on which you can find Skansen Kronan, the fortification that once defended the city.
Originally, as was the norm back in the Middle Ages, Gothenburg was a walled city. In the mid 17th century, a suburb, Haga, was built outside the city walls by Queen Christina, which would house the working class. One condition was agreed upon: the land could be reclaimed if needed. This, indeed, happened at the end of the same century. A covered causeway was built between the city wall to the north and the Skansen Kronan fortification just above the district. In the 18th century, increasing industrial activity in Gothenburg led to an increased need for housing which had its impact on the number of inhabitants of the Haga district.
