Iconic cultural sights of Iceland
There are many places of religious significance in Iceland. Landakotskirkja in Reykjavik is one of the main attractions of the city. This magnificent Catholic church is a high-rise neo-Gothic structure that has been open to believers since 1929. Numerous arches inside the church create an unusual effect of flying and striving towards heaven. Here you can see the statue of St. Thorlak, the patron saint of Iceland, a statue of Christ carved from cedar wood, and a wonderful 14th-century statue of the Virgin Mary. A Lutheran church with a high tower in Reykjavik, Hallgrimskirkja, is located in the heart of the city. It is dedicated to Hallgrímur Pétursson, a famous Icelandic poet of the 17th century. It houses a Sunday school, art exhibitions, and organ concerts. One can reach a 74.5-meter-high church tower by elevator to admire the beautiful view of the city. In front of the church stands a statue of the Viking Leifur Eiriksson, the first European to set foot on America.
