ÖREBRO CASTLE, from the late 1200s…

Örebro University, previously a branch of Uppsala University, and as such  opened its doors in 1967.

Engelbrekt, once a key person in the liberation of the country in the 1400s, used to live at the castle named Örebro Slott.
Mining ( gruvbrytning ) and shoe industry were major sources of income around here.
Mining played a predominant role in the 1500s and 1600s whereas the shoe industry played a predominant role all along until the 1970s.
 A different and somewhat odd water tower made Örebro famous in the late 1950s.
It is located in the northern part of the city and is called Svampen (=the mushroom).
It is no doubt one of the best spots to be at, if you want a look-around view of this city.
 Mainly flat open landscape, its surroundings are basically agricultural.

Uppsala Universitet fick här en s.k. universitetsfilial redan 1967
vilket sedermera, efter att varit högskola ett antal år, har övergått till att vara Örebro Universitet.

Örebro gjorde sig känt år 1957 som "staden med svampen".
Svampen var ett originellt utformat vattentorn
med en restaurang högst upp varifrån man har en bra utsikt över staden
som breder ut sig i ett flackt jordbrukslandskap,
omgärdat i fjärran av Kilsbergen som reser sig i väster och nordväst. 
 Citykomplexet Krämaren i hörnet av Rudbecksgatan och Drottninggatan blev klart och invigt år 1963.

Way, way back in the Roman times, the Roman soldier was given an allowance to pay for the salt he needed.
The Latin word for salt is "sal".  Today there's a word meaning wages paid by the month (or by the year). 
Yes, "salary" is the word. Funny, isn't it ?
Now, I assume you know that salt is a substance also referred to as Sodium Chloride or NaCl.
Throughout history one can read stories about how food of all sorts was preserved,
cured or impregnated with salt mainly to store, preventing it from turning sour.
Salt used purely for seasoning purposes is probably a rather late habit of man.

"Saltern" is the building in which salt is made by boiling or evaporation, also a salt-works, a plot of land,
laid out in pools and walks, in which sea-water is allowed to  evaporate naturally.
Words related to the word salt are found in Italian and Spanish  names of particular dances,
often implying a dance of some sort containing sudden jerking movements, leaping, jumping,
or some sudden change of movement (1600s and 1700s).

There is also early use of the word salt in connection with a description of the sexual desire and excitement of a bitch (1600s).
Salt was "sealt" in Old English, then later it developed into "salt".
