The square in Kristiansand - a photo on Flickriver

            is the main square in Kristiansand city and extends from Øvre torv by Wergelandsparken to Nedre torv, and goes there together with the city's shopping street (Markens gate). The square follows Rådhusgata, which has been extended on that stretch so that the place is an open space.
The square has a significant tradition as a trading place for peat traders. It also has other functions and it was for a number of years a terminal there for the bus routes to the City Bus, and there was also a main terminal for the city's taxis there. The square's former function as a terminal for pedestrians made the place a traffic center with many customers. In Rådhusgata by the square there were several well-established shops, and also in the nearest area around the square south and north in Kirkegata and in Markens gate. Developments in car use and the construction of other shopping centers are also important for these trade shifts.
Dominant buildings on the site are the City Hall, Kristiansand Cathedral and Kristiansand Public Library. Under the entire Torvet is a large parking facility.
