Trondheim
Trondheim grew around the cult of Saint Olav, the Nidaros archbishopric and a river port that repeatedly burned, rebuilt and changed political masters. Medieval pilgrimage, Danish-era administration, royal ceremony, industrial waterfronts and a massive German submarine bunker all survive within a compact city whose history is far more layered than its wooden-house image suggests.
