Victory Square, or Piazza della Vittoria, holds a significant place in Genoa as not only one of its largest squares, but also as one of the most important ones. Dominating the square is the impressive Arch of Victory, which is also referred to as the War Memorial of the Fallen. This arch is a tribute to the Genoese soldiers who lost their lives during the First World War. Additionally, the square boasts lawns that are adorned with engravings of the symbols of Columbus's ships.

The grand, fairy-tale castle-like main building in Timrå was built in 1883–1885 as a summer residence for the timber magnate Fredrik Bünsow, who was one of Sweden's most powerful timber barons at the time. The architects were Isak Gustaf Clason and Fritz Eckert. Clason is known for designing the Nordic Museum and Hallwyl Palace in Stockholm. The beautiful castle (or Villa Merlo, as it is actually called) is now a cultural heritage site and houses Svenska Cellulosa's central archive. In the summer, you can take a guided tour to see the many rooms and halls that still retain their former glory. Even the garden alone is well worth a visit.
