The famed rotunda of the Stockholm Public Library (Stadsbiblioteket) in Observatorielunden.

The main city library is just north of the city centre. Designed by architect Erik Gunnar Asplund and sporting a curvaceous, technicolor reading room, it’s the finest example of Stockholm’s 1920s neoclassicist style.
