Gotland is Sweden's largest island. It also is a province, county, municipality, and diocese. The province includes the islands of Fårö and Gotska Sandön to the north, as well as the Karlsö Islands (Lilla and Stora) to the west. From sea stacks (Raukar, in Swedish) in the north to the west side’s chalk cliffs to the east coast’s white sand beaches, Gotland differs markedly from the granitic craton that forms most of the rest of Sweden. In this video you can see the famous place Hoburgen in the south of Gotland were there are many sea stacks.
Gotland is the biggest island of the Baltic sea, situated roughly 60 miles off the coast of southern mainland Sweden. Almost 60 000 people live year round on the island, a number that changes dramatically during the summer as Gotland is one of Sweden’s most popular summer destinations. Beautiful beaches, rich history and a welcoming climate (Gotland is usually one of the sunniest places in Sweden) contribute to the island’s popularity. The almost 100 churches of Gotland are a main attraction for tourists.
The island's main sources of income are agriculture, food processing, tourism, information technology services, design, and some heavy industry such as concrete production from locally mined limestone. From a military viewpoint, it occupies a strategic location in the Baltic sea. As of 2018 the Gotland Regiment has been re-raised and it is the first time since World War II that a new regiment has been established in Sweden.
Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman lived and died on Fårö and several of his films were filmed there.
