Dating from 1893–95, it was largely the work of parliamentarian/bank director Tryggvi Gunnarsson.In 1867 Althingi resolved to mark the millennium of the settlement of Iceland byholding a national festival in 1874, and by building a Parliament House in Reykjavík, of Icelandic stone. 20 minutes
Grjótagata, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland Grjótaþorp (Grjóti Village) derives its name from Grjóti, one of eight smallholdings on the estate of Reykjavík in the 18th century. The farmstead stood here on Grjótabrekka (Grjóti Slope) at the top of Grjótagata. In the latter half of the 18th century, when wooden buildings were being constructed on Aðalstræti, a cluster of turf houses grew up on the Grjóti property.
Grjótaþorp fell into a state of dilapidation in the 20th century, due to plans for building a major road through it.
That idea was ultimately abandoned, and today all the old wooden houses have been renovated; in addition a number of wooden buildings from other districts have been rebuilt in Grjótaþorp, consolidating the old street plan.
Grjótaþorp, one of the oldest extant quarters of wooden buildings in Reykjavík, is characterised by narrow streets with detached wooden houses in small, well-tended gardens.

We were really impressed with our tour guide Villi. In a half day he managed to show us so much of Reykjavik. The right amount of stories and history mixed with short walks to keep us all entertained.
At the end we immediately signed up for a private day tour of the south coast for which my wife has left a review.
I would recommend Puffin Travel to everybody.
Thank you Villi.
