Nidarosdomen
This is the biggest church in Northern Europe, the only major Gothic cathedral in Norway and the pride of the city. Towering over the city centre at its southern edge, the majestic cathedral is the defining feature of Trondheim. Nidarosdomen is also Norway's national cathedral. It was erected over what was believed to be St. Olav's grave and it became a major pilgrimage site in Northern Europe. Next door is the Archbishop's Palace, which was partly burnt down in the 1980s and has been heavily restored.
The "Church of Our Lady" also dates from the Middle Ages but was partially rebuilt after the 1708 fire.
The central square is the hub of Trondheim. Surrounded by shops and cafés, it is often used for events. There are also vendors with market stalls that sell tourist kitch and souvenirs, food, clothes, accessories and other items. Not to mention Trondheim Torg, which is one of the city's largest shopping malls- home to clothing stores, bookstores, and restaurants and cafes. At the center stands an 18-metre-high statue of King Olav Tryggvason, the founder of the city. It is also a functioning sundial.
