criterion (ii): karlskrona is an exceptionally well preserved example of a european planned naval town, which incorporates elements derived from earlier establishments in other countries and which was in its turn to serve as the model for subsequent towns with similar functions.
criterion (iv): naval bases played an important role in the centuries during which naval power was a determining factor in european realpolitik, and karlskrona is the best preserved and most complete of those that survive. |
