context_page_description: The Obelisk at Slottsbacken is an obelisk monument adjacent to the Royal Palace on Slottsbacken in Old Town, Stockholm, Sweden. Unveiled in 1800, it commemorates the deeds of Stockholm's citizenry during the Russo-Swedish War. The obelisk is considered to be the very centre point of the Swedish capital city. In 2017 the original obelisk was dismantled due to age- and weather-related damage; it is expected to be replaced by a new stone obelisk in the spring of 2020.
