Den gamla asatron blev ersatt med kristendom.

Uppsala is Sweden's fourth biggest city, with a population of 144,839.

Uppsala is sixty-seven kilometers north of Sweden and is one of Scandinavia's oldest university cities.

Uppsala used to be called "Östra Aros" and today's Old Uppsala used to be Uppsala.

"Östra Aros" took the name when the archdiocese moved in the 1280s.

When the archdiocese moved, Church building was commenced.

This made the urban formation move faster.

Big donations were made to the church and this created a great basis for the growth of Uppsala's economy.
