thumb|300px|right|Most of Medborgarplatsen thumb|The Anna Lindh memorial Medborgarplatsen (literally ''Citizen's Square) is a large city square located near the center of the island of Södermalm in Stockholm, Sweden. The square is often colloquially referred to as "Medis''".

==Description== The development of the citizen site was due to the railway's progress and the construction of Stockholm Södra station in the late 1850s. Near the square is a Medborgarplatsen metro station. The station was opened as an underground tram station in 1933, and was converted for the new metro system in 1950 as one of the first stations on the network. The original exits did not open onto the square, but to the nearby street Folkungagatan. An entrance was opened on to Björns trädgård on November 29, 1995.
