Reykjavik is the capital and largest city of Iceland. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the following decades. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world. The Hallgrimskirkja is one of the city's best-known landmarks and is visible throughout the city. The design resembles the trap rocks, mountains, and glaciers of Iceland's landscape.
