Anga is a populated area, a socken (not to be confused with parish), on the Swedish island of Gotland.[3] It comprises the same area as the administrative Anga District, established on 1 January 2016.[4]

Anga is mostly known for the intact graves in Trullhalsar grave field dating from the Vendel Period and the Viking Age.[5]

## Geography[edit]

Anga is situated in the central east coast of Gotland.[6] The medieval Anga Church is located in the socken.[7] As of 2019[update], Anga Church belongs to Östergarn parish in Romaklosters pastorat, along with the churches in Östergarn, Gammelgarn, Kräklingbo and Ala.[8][9]
