Akershus Castle has been built in order of King Haakon V Magnusson in 1299 (one year after sanctioned Oslo as a capital of Norway), on a commanding headland. Although damaged, repaired, fortified and renovated over the centuries, the ancient walls and central medieval tower of this imposing fortified palace still dominate the sea front.
