Where is the statue located:
The Costa Diadema in port in Bergen at night.
Last summer I was aboard the beautiful Costa Diadema in Northern Europe.
During one of the cruises the rough seas made us skip a port and so we were forced to spend a night in port in Bergen.
Nice overnight, it's just a shame that the Norwegian town, especially during the week, doesn't offer many night-time activities.
Have you ever taken a Costa cruise to Northern Europe?

The Sailors' Monument in Bergen, Norway.
Located in the heart of Bergen, the Sailors' Monument is a tribute to Norway's rich maritime heritage. This impressive monument, designed by sculptor Dyre Vaa and unveiled on 7 June 1950, celebrates the contributions of Norwegian sailors throughout the centuries.
The 7-metre-high monument has a distinctive cubic shape and is located at the northern end of Torgallmenningen, the city's main square. It is adorned with 12 bronze statues and four relief panels, each representing different eras of Norwegian maritime history.
The statues are grouped in four triads facing the cardinal directions, each representing a different era:
West side: Viking Age adventurers, armed with swords and spears.
North side: Modern era sailors (17th and 18th centuries).
East side: 19th century sailors.
South side: 20th century sailors.
The relief panels add narrative depth, intertwining real maritime dangers with mythical and spiritual elements. Scenes depicted include Viking ships, encounters with Native Americans, and more modern images such as whaling scenes.
The Sailors' Monument not only reflects the importance of seafaring in Norwegian history, but also the central role of Bergen as a port city. It is a symbol of national pride and a tribute to the brave men who sailed the seas, contributing to Norway's development and prosperity.
The monument is easily accessible and is a must-see for anyone visiting Bergen. Its central location makes it ideal for an exploratory walk around the city, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Norway's maritime history and culture.

The Harbitz Clock in Bergen: a historical landmark.
Bergen, one of Norway’s most charming cities, is famous for its breathtaking landscapes, fjords and rich cultural heritage. Among the city’s many landmarks, one of the most iconic is the Harbitz Clock, located on the façade of the Harbitz Building in Torgallmenningen, in the heart of Bergen.
The Harbitz Building, with its clock tower, is a landmark in the centre of Bergen. Built in the 19th century, the building is an example of historical architecture that combines traditional elements with modern influences. The clock tower, in particular, is a distinctive element that attracts the attention of residents and tourists.
The Harbitz Clock was first installed in the late 19th century and has since become a symbol of the city. Originally, the clock served not only as a timekeeping instrument, but also as a reference point for the citizens of Bergen. Over the years, the clock has been maintained and restored to preserve its functionality and aesthetics.
Today, the Harbitz Clock is more than just a timekeeping instrument. It is a symbol of Bergen’s history and culture. Its presence in the city center reminds residents and visitors of the importance of Bergen’s historical and architectural heritage. The clock is also often used as a meeting point and as a backdrop for tourist photographs.
The preservation of the Harbitz Clock is a priority for the local authorities. In recent years, several restorations have been carried out to ensure that the clock continues to function properly and maintain its original appearance. These conservation efforts are essential to preserving an important piece of Bergen’s history for future generations.
AS Johan Harbitz & Co. is a property management company located in Bergen, Norway. Founded in 1922, the company focuses on the ownership and management of real estate. Its headquarters are located at Torgallmenningen 1A, in the heart of Bergen.

Seafood for lunch at the Bergen market.
It really wasn't planned but a quick trip to the Bergen market (despite the sky-high prices) is always nice.
Salmon and cod skewers, shrimp skewer, king crab claw and side dish. With beer!
It's ok!

Gamberetti e salmone a Bergen.
Nel mercato del pesce di Bergen, che visti i prezzi sembra una gioielleria più che un mercato, a mangiare gamberetti e salmone!
