Geography
Martebo is the name of the small village surrounding the medieval Martebo Church, sometimes referred to as Martebo kyrkby. The name is also used for the larger surrounding area, Martebo socken. It is situated in the northwest part of Gotland. The area is mainly farmed land, some of it on part of a drained mire. This is where the noted Martebo lights can be seen.
One of the asteroids in the Asteroid belt, 3250 Martebo, is named after this place.
