Reykjavík is quite unique as a capital.
The City and it's suburban area host 75%
of Iceland’s inhabitants. The town was
built up as a farm in the city. People
moved to town but wanted to be able
to grow potatoes, rutabaga, and rhubarb.
Until quite recently there were farms
down town in Reykjavík.
Most of Reykjavik’s timber houses were burnt down in a big fire in 1915. The developmental concequences were significant. Timber houses were banned and the town became the concrete capital that it is today. After the “Blessed War” things changed rapidly the suburbs started building up and people migrated to Reykjavík.
Tyrfing´s house is in a neighbouring town Kópavogur 10 min. drive from down town Reykjavík.
