Västerås is one of the #oldest #cities in Sweden and #Northern #Europe. The name originates from Västra Aros (West Aros), which refers to the river mouth of #Svartån. The area has been populated since the #Nordic #Viking Age, before 1000 CE. In the beginning of the 11th century it was the #second #largest city in Sweden, and by the 12th century had become the seat of the bishop. #Anundshög is located just outside the City of Västerås. Anundshög is Sweden's largest burial mound. "Hög" is derived from the #Old #Norse word haugr meaning mound or barrow. It was built about 500 CE and is over 68 m (74 yards) wide and is almost 9 m (10 yd) high.
