Ålesund

Ålesund has served as a fishing port in Møre og Romsdal since the mid-19th century. Spread across islands on Norway’s western coast, the city faces the Norwegian Sea and remains closely tied to fisheries and maritime trade. A devastating fire in 1904 destroyed much of the centre; its reconstruction created Ålesund’s notable concentration of Art Nouveau architecture. Brosundet, the narrow channel through the centre, is edged by waterfront warehouses, while the Art Nouveau Centre occupies the former Swan Pharmacy.
