Streymoy region

Streymoy has been the political heartland of the Faroe Islands since the Viking Age. Tórshavn, the archipelago’s capital, lies on its southeastern coast, and the historic Tinganes peninsula recalls the site of an early Faroese assembly. Narrow fjords cut into steep, grass-covered slopes, while the Sundini strait separates Streymoy from Eysturoy. At Kirkjubøur, the ruins of medieval St Magnus Cathedral stand beside Roykstovan, a historic timber farmhouse.
