Close to the Haakon's Hall there is the Rosenkrantz Tower. It was built in 1560 by Erik Rosenkrantz, and it was used as a combined residence and fortified tower. Earlier structures that King Magnus the Lawmender's keep from about 1260 and Jorgen Hansson's defences from about 1520, were incorporated by Erik Rosenkrantz. In 1944 the Bergehus was damaged due an explsion on a German ship, it was later resotred and now it is magnific!!!

The very first buildings in Bergen were built alongside the wharf called Bryggen. It has been the centre of the power for centuries and the form of its ancient gables is one of the most familiar images from the Middle Ages in all Norway. In 1360 the German Hanseatic merchants set up one of their import/export offices at Bryggen and dominated trade for the next 400 years.

A great experience is to meander through Bryggen's narrow alleyways, amde ever darker and more mysterious by overhanging balconies, is to step back in time to the Middle Ages. Bryggen is not a museum however, but part of the cultural heritage that is still in use in a living historical area of the city.

Near the museum there is the Hanseatic Assembly Rooms where the Hanseatic merchants gathered for warm meals, held cour meetings and taught the apprentices.

The Torget as the Bryggen is probably the symbol of Bergen. Every day you can see the Fish Market with all the kinds of fish fishing in Norway, first of all the Salmon!!!! In the market you can find also fruit, vegetables, flowers, handicaps and souvenirs. There is only a con in this place: many fishermen are Italian and you can't meet a Norwegian fisherman in all the market!!! It is quite strange!! :)
