Uppåkra, located near Lund in the Swedish province of Skåne, was inhabited since the Stone Age and gradually developed into the largest Iron Age settlement in southern Sweden.
Uppåkra had its heyday from 400 to 1050 AD, as evidenced by a number of spectacular finds from the settlement layer, most of which date to the periods of the Germanic Iron Age and Viking Age.
Uppåkra seems to have been a political, economic and religious centre and was probably the royal seat of an early empire in Skåne.
