Karlskrona (UK: /ˈkɑːrlskrnə/,[2] US: /kɑːrlzˈkrnə/,[3] Swedish: [kaɭsˈkrûːna] ) is a locality and the seat of Karlskrona Municipality, Blekinge County, Sweden with a population of 66,675 in 2018.[1] It is also the capital of Blekinge County. Karlskrona is known as Sweden's only baroque city[4] and is host to Sweden's largest naval base and the headquarters of the Swedish Coast Guard.

Historically, the city has been home to a German minority,[5] thus enabling the formation of a German Congregational church. It also counted Jewish people in its population.[6]

In 1998, parts of the city, including the Karlskrona naval base, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
