Den Gyldene Freden - 1722 | Stockholm, Sweden
The Golden Peace - 1722
According to the legends,1722 is the opening year of the Golden Peace. Scholars dispute this, however.
They dispute just as much about which peace the name actually alludes to. Is it the peace of Stettin in 1570 or perhaps the peace of Uusimaa in 1721?
Or is it perhaps as simple as the fact that both “gold” and “peace” are two pleasant words that become even more pleasant when paired together? In any case, truth and poetry have had an unforced relationship at the Peace ever since.
