Uppsala, archaic spelling Upsala, is a university city in Sweden, 80 kilometers north of Stockholm, and the capital of Uppsala County. With a population of 158,000 (200,000 in the municipality), it is Sweden's fourth largest city. The Uppsala Cathedral, built in the 13th century, is the largest church in the Nordic countries.
Uppsala Municipality also contains the Uppsala countryside.
Uppsala is located along- and separated by- the Fyris River, which flows into lake Mälaren, which is in turn connected to the Baltic sea. The city has historically been subject to a "town and gown" division, with burghers residing on the eastern side of the river, while clergy, academia and royalty has resided on the western shore. This division still exists today, as the main shopping areas are still located in the eastern part of the city centre, while most university campuses, student nations, and historic landmarks are located on its western side.
