Trondheim is known as Norway's Silicon Valley. But today’s high-tech center is also a very old city, around 1000 years. St. Olav was buried here after falling in the battle of Stiklestadon July 29th, 1030 AD making Trondheim the fourth most important pilgrim city in the entire Catholic Church. For the last four centuries pilgrims have been coming here for comfort, help and miraculous cures. Norway's monarchs have also been crowned in this national shrine.
After the city was burnt down in 1682, General Caspar Cicignon laid the foundation for modern Trondheim. It is now a green city with a mixture of wide streets and modern buildings as well as picturesque wooden houses and narrow alleyways. In the middle of town you will find the lovely Stiftsgården, which is one of the king's royal residences and the third largest wooden building in a Nordic country. The calm and beautiful river Nidelva winds through the heart of the city.
