Västerlånggatan
Västerlånggatan (''The Western Long Street'') is a street in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. Stretching southward between the squares Mynttorget and Järntorget, it follows the course of the city's now demolished 13th century defensive wall.
The blocks along the street are elongated but only a few meters in width; those on the eastern side oriented lengthwise, and those on the western crosswise. Only four blocks thus forms the eastern side of the street while some 20 are lined-up along the western side. Most of the front doors of the buildings are located either on the quite Prästgatan, the parallel street passing along the eastern side, or in one of the numerous alleys on the street's western side. The intact façades of the northernmost blocks are hiding the semi-detached offices of the Riksdag. To the south of those are the remaining numerous and very narrow blocks and alleys which before the great fire of 1625 occupied the entire western side of the street.
== Origin of the name ==
Today renowned as one of Gamla stan's most picturesque and busy tourist magnets, Västerlånggatan was for many centuries one of the major streets of Stockholm together with Österlånggatan, both of which ran outside the city walls. During the 15th century, they were both called ''Allmänningsgatan'' ("The Common Street") or ''Långa gatan'' ("The long street"), occasionally in combination, like ''Allmenninx longe gathen'' or ''longe Almenninx gathen'' in 1514, and/or with a suffix such as ''västan till'' ("to the west") appended. The current name was officially established in 1885.
