Portaal:Faeröer/Hoofdstad

Vestaravág, Tórshavn

Tórshavn (naam van de stad in het Faeröers; Deens: Thorshavn) is de hoofdstad van de eilandengroep Faeröer, een grotendeels zelfbesturend gebiedsdeel van Denemarken. De stad is gelegen op het eiland Streymoy, met 19.282 inwoners (2005). De naam van de stad betekent haven van Thor. Thor is de god van de donder en de bliksem in de Noordse mythologie.

Het Faeröerse parlement, het Løgting, is gelegen in het oude stadsdeel Tinganes. In Tórshavn is tevens het nationale kunstmuseum van de eilandengroep te vinden, Listasavn Føroya.

De stad werd gesticht in de 10e eeuw, en werd gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog door het Verenigd Koninkrijk bezet (1941-1945).
