Bergen Norway (City of Rain)
Bergen, the second biggest city in Kingdom of Norway. And almost certainly one of the world most wonderful city. Population: december 31 2007 = 247 746
The city of Bergen, believed to have been founded by king Olav Kyrre, son of Harald Hardråde, in AD 1070, celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1970.
It is considered to have put back Trondheim as Norway’s capital in 1217, and that Oslo became de jure capital in 1299. Near the end of the 13th century, Bergen came to be one of the Hanseatic League’s most influential bureau cities.
The city is located on the south-western coast of Norway, in the region of Hordaland, with its centre located between a group of mountains known collectively as de syv fjell
(”the seven mountains”), in spite of the fact that the number of mountains is a matter of definition. Bergen is host to part of the country’s large oil industry, as well as deep sea operations. Its harbors are used by everything from small pleasure vessels to cruise ships and cargo vessels, and is the base of many of the country’s fishing vessels. Bergen is an important cultural centre in its region and was one of nine European cities honoured with the title European Capital of Culture in 2000.
