Stortorget (transl. "The Main Square", lit. "The Big Square") is a square in Malmö. Construction began in 1538 with the demolition of The Monastery of the Holy Spirit (Heligandsklostret), which with its cemetery occupied about 70% of the area of the future square. A note in 1542 refers to the site as thet ny torg ("the new square"). The stately Malmö Town Hall (Rådhuset), the largest of its kind in the Nordic countries at the time, located on the eastern side of the square, was inaugurated in 1547. At Stortorget are The Governor's Residence, Malmö Town Hall, Jørgen Kock's House, the Kramer Hotel, and The Lion Pharmacy (Apoteket Lejonet). In the middle of the square stands an equestrian statue of King Charles X Gustav, sculpted by John Börjeson and created in connection with the Craft and Industry Exhibition in Malmö in 1896. The statue was initiated by the newspaperman and politician Carl Herslow and the history professor Martin Weibull. Stortorget has historically been Malmö's most central square, but with the electrification of the tramway, this role was increasingly taken over by Gustav Adolf's square. Stortorget was served by horsecars in 1887–1907, horse-drawn buses in 1898-1907 and electric trams in 1906–1957. Just southwest of Stortorget is Lilla torg, and about 250 m straight south (along Södergatan) is Gustav Adolfs torg. As a curiosity, the meridian 13° east passes through Stortorget, which means that its mean solar time is exactly (if you are standing in the right place) eight minutes behind Central European Time (i.e. Swedish Standard Time).

Adelgatan was, together with Östergatan and Västergatan, Malmö's main street from the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages there were two Adelgatan's. The elder ran from west to east direction parallel to the beach only a stone's throw from it. It was called in 1392 in Latin "Communis magna platea". It was the city's oldest street, which probably existed as a narrow road even before the city's emergence in 1250s. Today this route is in the Malmöhus Castle area leading up to Drottningtorget. The second Adelgatan was the main street in the early 14th century which ran perpendicular to the former further south. This was called "Sönnergaatan" in 1462 and "Then syndre Adelgade" in 1522. " They formed grand squares and had boundary markers consisting of standing stones. Such a stone was the "Tunneln", one at the current Caroli Church and the last at the junction of Skomakaregatan and Södergatan. Trade with the peasants during the Middle Ages were only allowed inside the marked square areas.
