Torvet Square (Market Square)

Tovert Plaza or Market Square is the heart of the city of Trondheim. It is close to attractions like Nidaros Cathedral and the Palace of Justice and the nearby streets are the bustling heart of the city. The most prominent feature in the square is the Monument Triggvason Olav. For those not familiar with the story, Olav was the founder of Trondheim. Russian-born colonizers brought Christianity to the Norwegian territory and he was forced to leave the country. On his return to reclaim his throne, he died in the Battle of Sticklestad. After his death he was buried somewhere in Nidaros Cathedral and became a saint and martyr of the Catholic Church.
