World Heritage
Sweden
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The most striking feature of the landscape is the Great Pit of Falun, which shows copper mining activity in the area since at least the 13th century. The 17th-century planned town of Falun, with its many fine historic buildings and the remains of industry and life in the many settlements spread over a wide area of the Dalarna region, vividly illustrates what was for centuries one of the world's most important mining regions.
