The name of the city means Thor's Harbour, named after the god of thunder and lightning in Norse mythology. The City´s coat of arms shows Thor´s hammer Mjolnir, which tells people that Tórshavn dates back to pre-christian times. The Faroese usually refer to their capital as Havn - harbour.
Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands. It is located in the southern part on the east coast of Streymoy. To the north west of the town lies the 347 meter high mountain Húsareyn, and to the southwest, the 350 meter high Kirkjubøreyn. The city itself has a population of 12.345 . The city was founded in the 10th century and may well be the oldest capital in Northern Europe.
The vikings established their parliament on the Tingenes peninsula in Tórshavn 825 AD. All through the Middle Ages the narrow peninsula jutting out into the sea made up the main part of Tórshavn. Sources do not mention a built-up area in Tórshavn until after the protestant reformation in 1539. Early on Tórshavn became the center of the monopoly trade, therefore being the only legal place for the islanders to sell and buy goods. In 1856 the trade monopoly was abolished and the islands where left open to free trade. The town has grown rapidly ever since the turn of the 20th century into the undisputed administrative, economic and cultural center of the Faroes.
Nearly 20,000 people live in the metropolitan area which continues to see population growth. Tórshavn blends the historical and picturesque with all the features of a modern city. Tórshavn is located in the centre of the country, from where you can get to almost every corner of the country and back again on the same day due to a well-developed bus and ferry system.
