Skara

Skara is a locality and the seat of Skara Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden with 10,841 inhabitants in 2010. Despite its small size, it has a long educational and ecclesiastical history. One of Sweden's oldest high schools, Katedralskolan (cathedral school), is situated in Skara. When the new gymnasium was built in 1988, it kept the old name and the old school was named Djäkneskolan. (The word djäkne comes from diakon, meaning servant of the church.)
