This is the view on TOP of the church at the center of Rejkjavik. You can notice the colourful roofs and the church ground floor pattern where Leifur Ericsson’s statue is situated
Largest church in Iceland and one of  Reykjavík's best known landmarks. It's construction took over 40 years. The white interior is impressive. Don't miss the view from the observation deck on top of the tower.
