HMS Hugin (P151) was the first of the 16 ships that were part of the Swedish Navy's series of Hugin-class patrol boats. Hugin was included in 5/48/18. patrol boat division, which in turn was part of what was the 3. surface combat wing. The ship was launched on 3 June 1977 but was not delivered until 3 July 1978. It served for about 22 years, of which 15 years in line. The main tasks were to be part of the invasion defence by fighting less qualified enemy naval forces, monitoring the territorial sea, repelling violations, carrying out escort service and laying mines. Hugin was removed from service on the same day as 18. The patrol boat division was disbanded on 30 June 2001. The ship was handed over in "as is" to the Gothenburg Maritime Centre, where she lies inside her predecessor, the destroyer HMS Småland (J19).

Kronhuset, formerly known as Giötheborgz Tyghuhs, is a redbrick building in Västra Nordstaden in Gothenburg. It was constructed during the years 1643–1654 in a Dutch style, and is Gothenburg's joint-oldest secular building along with the Torstenson Palace. The royal architect Simon de la Vallée is believed to have designed the building. The Kronhus was originally used as an arsenal for the city garrison and as a granary to store food reserves so that the city could survive a siege. On December 9, 1927, the ownership of Kronhuset passed from the Swedish state to Gothenburg Municipality. It has been a byggnadsminne, a listed building, since 24 October 1968.

Gustav II Adolf's statue is a bronze statue of Bengt Erland Fogelberg, erected in 1854 on Gustaf Adolfs torg in central Gothenburg. The statue, which is Gothenburg's oldest public work of art, depicts Gustav II Adolf pointing with his right hand down towards the square while looking into the distance in the other direction, and depicts the imaginary occasion when the king is supposed to have pronounced "Here shall the city be!", and on a symbolic level the statue thus represents the creation of the city of Gothenburg. The statue is placed on a high marble plinth on top of a stepped granite foundation.
