Where in the World is Gary? #27

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#26) is Stockholm, Sweden

Latitude — 35º 40′ North

Longitude — 105º 57′ West

This is the highest (in elevation) state capital in the USA. Strict laws here preserve traditional building styles and colors. The Governor’s Palace is the oldest continually used building in the USA.

Its oldest church dates to 1610, before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts.

There is a “miraculous staircase” in a chapel here  built by a stranger with simple tools, without the traditional supports usually thought necessary in such a structure.
