Lilla Torget (the Little Square) is an old market square. During the middle of the 19th century, wooden furniture was sold here. The market square was known colloquially as Trätorget (Wood Market). Lilla Torget is located southwest of the harbour canal and many buyers thus came to the square via the canal. There is a statue of Johan Alströmer (1685-1761), the man who introduced the potato to Sweden in 1724. These days, the square functions as a bus stop. It is only a few minutes' walk from the city centre.
