The Haraldshaugen Obelisk, 2 km from Haugesund, stands on the burial mound of the Viking king Harald Hårfagre (Harald with the beautiful hair) who unified Norway in 872. Erected in 1860 for the millennium of the reunification, this 17 m high granite obelisk, placed on a 5 m mound, is surrounded by 29 smaller obelisks, each of which represents one of the subjugated provinces: The Saga of the Norwegian Kings, written by the Icelandic scalde Snorre Sturlasson (1179-1241) tells all the deeds of the great Vikings. See Les Sagas Icelandaises, published by Payot.
