Möllevången

Möllevången is Malmö without a filter. In other parts of the city, you can sometimes experience a sanitized, curated version of multiculturalism — in Möllan you encounter the original. It is a place where seventy nationalities live wall to wall, whose pulse beats stubbornly around the clock, six days a week, to the cacophonous but wonderfully alive soundtrack of market calls, spice pots, and blended music cultures.

Historically, Möllevångstorget was one of Malmö's most important squares during the socialist movement of the early 20th century. The sculpture group at the center of the square, created by Axel Ebbe in 1926, depicts four tormented working brothers carrying a heavy stone load — a tribute work to Malmö's industrial workers. Immediately beneath these figures were held communist meetings and union demonstrations. The area around the square was long a stronghold for the industrial working class.
