Stavanger Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Stavanger is the fourth largest city and one of the richest cities in the country. In the bacon belt of the city one sees for the otherwise rather modest Norway many villas and lush country houses. Worth seeing are the old town with the best preserved wooden house settlement in Europe and the harbor.

In addition, Stavanger impresses with its beautiful surroundings. Popular destinations include the world famous Preikestolen and the longest beach in the country, the Solastrand.

Swords in Rock Monument

Highlight • Monument

The monument was created by sculptor Fritz Røed from Bryne and was unveiled by King Olav V of Norway in 1983. The three bronze swords stand 10 metres (33 ft) tall and are planted into the rock of a small hill next to the fjord. They commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord which by tradition took place there in the year 872 when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown. The largest sword represents the victorious Harald, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated petty kings. The monument also represents peace, since the swords are planted into solid rock, so they may never be removed.
