Planning notes for Oslo
Oslo, the capital of Norway, was founded by King Harald Hardråde around 1050 and became the seat of the national government in 1299 under King Haakon V. Following a fire in 1624, King Christian IV relocated the city to its current site under the walls of Akershus Fortress and renamed it Christiania. The city functioned under this name until 1925, when it officially reverted to its original name. The architectural landscape includes the medieval Akershus Fortress.
