"Skåne"/Scania

在舊書攤看到一本圖文並茂的"透過藝術家看Skåne"
才知道其英文
印象最深刻的是 1920 年代的一幅"救世軍"圖

斯科訥(英語:Scania,瑞典語:Skåne)位於瑞典南部斯堪的那維亞半島最南端,為約塔蘭地區之一舊省。斯科訥雖然面積僅占瑞典的3%,但卻居住了120萬,相當於瑞典總人口數13%的人口。

Scania (Skåne in Swedish and Danish)[2] is a geographical region on the southernmost tip of the Scandinavian peninsula,[3][4][5] a traditional province (landskap) in the Kingdom of Sweden, before 1658 a province in the Kingdom of Denmark and part of the historical lands of Denmark.[6][7] To the north, it borders the provinces Halland, Småland and Blekinge, to the east and south the Baltic Sea, and to the west the Oresund strait. It is part of the transnational Oresund Region and the historical region Skåneland (Terra Scaniae or "Scania land"). Around 130 km long from north to south, Scania covers less than 3% of Sweden's total area. The population of approximately 1,200,000[8] represents 13% of Sweden's total population.

Scania's historical connection to Denmark, the vast fertile plains, the deciduous forests and the relatively mild climate make the province culturally and physically distinct from the emblematic Swedish cultural landscape of forests and small hamlets.[9]
