The parliament of Iceland met for the first time at Pingvellir in 930AD. From the lookout at Pingvellir, a 100m track descends into Almannagja and down to the flagpole, which marks the presumed site of Logberg (Law Rock), the rock where important speeches were made and the Law Speaker recited Iceland’s law to the assembled parliament each year. It was also at Logberg that the Icelanders adopted the Christian religion around 1000AD.
