Tinganes

Tinganes ( German translation: " Thing headland " ) is a peninsula in Tórshavn harbor.

Tinganes is the oldest part of the city, characterized by its narrow streets. There is also the Tórshavn Cathedral.

One of the " seven wonders Faroese "

To Ólavsøka 2007, the Faroese television Sjónvarp Føroya organized a national competition over the "seven Faroese miracle," in which the audience could make any suggestions about specific buildings and other objects. A ranking of the eight winners (due to a tie, in one case) has not been announced, but Tinganes one of them. The others are the pews of Kirkjubøur, the Magnus Cathedral, the Christianskirkjan in Klaksvík house of the north, the Norðoyatunnilin, the first flag of the Faroe Islands in the Church of Fámjin and the seat of Reichsombudsschaft in the Faroe Islands (the last two with equality of votes ).
