Sverd i Fjell
(Swords in Rock) - a monument of three 10 metres tall swords by the Hafrsfjord in Stavanger, Norway, unveiled in 1983.
The swords commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord that took place there in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.
The largest sword represents the victorious Harald, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated petty kings. The monument also represents peace, since the swords are planted into solid rock, whence they may never be removed.
