Facts and practical information

Evert Taube's terrace is a paved place on the western part of Riddarholmen in Stockholm. The terrace is located between the Wrangelska Palace and Riddarfjärden and forms part of the North Riddarholm Harbour. On Evert Taube's terrace stands since 1990 Taube's statue, sculpted by Willy Gordon.

The Evert Taube Terrace was built in the early 1960s and was named after the troubadour Evert Taube in 1983. In 1990, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Taube's birth, a bronze sculpture was erected by Willy Gordon, depicting Evert Taube, wearing a sombrero and poncho. In one hand he holds his lute, with the other he looks out over Riddarfjärden and Södermalm, where he lived. Behind him rises the Stockholm City Hall. The sculpture was a gift from the Society of Friends of Evert Taube. The pedestal is carved from granite from Vinga, Taube's birthplace.

On the south-western part of the terrace is the sculpture "The Sun Boat" by the sculptor Christian Berg, erected in 1966.
