Solgränd
Solgränd is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. It connects the Stortorget square to the street Prästgatan. It is a parallel street to Storkyrkobrinken, Ankargränd, Spektens gränd, and Kåkbrinken.
Solen was the name of several taverns in Gamla stan, and in a list dated 1671 three taverns and inns are said to bear the name, one of which is called Solen vid Prästgatan. A tavern probably located in the corner of Prästgatan gave the alley its name. The popular troubadour Carl Michael Bellman mentions the alley in his lyrics. The tavern mentioned in his epistle n:o 79 however, dedicated to a mor Maja Myra i Solgränden vid Stortorget, anno 1785, is referring to a tavern next door to Solen, in epistle n.o 56 called Förgyllda Bägaren.
