Located on the Stavanger Peninsula in Southwest Norway, Stavanger counts its official founding year as 1125, the year the Stavanger Cathedral was completed. But now it is bristling with high-tech nautical, oil and defence industries. In particular, it is regarded as NorwayÕs oil capital. Stavanger's heart is its 18th- and 19th-century wooden houses that are protected and considered part of the city's cultural heritage. Many are concentrated in the scenic Gamle waterfront area shown here.
