Saint-Barthélemy, in the Carribbean, has a historical connection with Gothenburg. It was founded as a French colony in 1659; however, the poor soil and the dry climate of the island prevented its economical development, and its inhabitants mostly lived from buccaneering.
In 1785, King Louis XVI swapped the island for trade rights in Gothenburg with King of Sweden Gustav III.
On 16 March 1878, the Swedes sold back the island to France.
What were these ‘trade rights’ in Gothenburg France was given? How long did they last? More info needed.
Also, the connection of Gothenburg with this island resulted in Sweden having a colony in the New World for over a century. I don’t think this is widely known. 2601:647:667F:8610:110E:FF3B:B2EE:5B03 (talk) 02:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm questioning the relevance of including a photo of an unfinished building (Karlatornet) in the main image of the article. While I do think Karlatornet is worthy of being mentioned as a city symbol, I think we should wait until there are available photos of the building when its completed. On a sidenote, do we really need to include the Gothenburg Tram Network as a symbol of the city? And if we have to, are there not any better images available than the current one?
