Planning notes for Sentrum
Sentrum is the central district of Oslo, Norway, and serves as the city's administrative and historical core. It was established in its current location following a fire in 1624, when King Christian IV moved the city closer to Akershus Fortress and renamed it Christiania. This fortress, which dates back to the 13th century, remains a primary historical site within the district.
