Þingvellir UNESCO Site – Law Rock (Lögberg)
Lögberg, the Law Rock at Þingvellir, is the most sacred spot in Iceland's political history — the precise location where the Lögsögumaður (Lawspeaker) stood each summer to recite the entire body of Icelandic law from memory to the assembled Alþingi parliament. The exact position was rediscovered by archaeologists in 1907 and is now marked with an Icelandic flag. This location was the symbolic centre of Icelandic nationhood for over 900 years, from 930 AD until the parliament moved to Reykjavík in 1798.
