The van eases away from the pier and the medieval ring wall of Visby appears, stone teeth catching the low Baltic light. Walking through the narrow lanes feels like stepping into a lived-in ruin: crumbling church walls lean over cobblestones, and geraniums spill from window boxes while gulls wheel above the harbor.
