Tórshavn is the capital and largest city of the Faroe Islands, situated on the southeast coast of Strummer, the main island of the Faroe Islands, and is a historic port city in the North Atlantic. As the political, economic and cultural center of the Faroe Islands, it is home to some 19,000 inhabitants, or nearly a third of the islands' total population. With a history dating back to the Middle Ages, the city is one of the oldest capitals in Northern Europe, preserving the typical Faroese tradition of wooden houses with colorful facades, and the Parliament Square in the Old Town (Tinganes) is a witness to a thousand years of self-governing tradition. With its mountains, cliffs and bird habitats, Jagf is a place of natural beauty that attracts tourists from all over the world. The fishing industry is the mainstay of the region, while tourism and cultural events (such as the summer Olaf Festival) are thriving, combining Nordic tranquillity with a distinctly Faroese flavor.
