Tinganes

Tinganes is the historic location of the Faroese landsstýri (government), and is a part of Tórshavn.

[1] It is one of the oldest parliamentary meeting places in the world, along with Tynwald hill on the Isle of Man and Þingvellir in Iceland.

The Løgting has since moved to the north of the city, but the home-rule government still sits here.

The small main street on the peninsula is called Gongin and is home to the oldest parts of the city.

The peninsula divides the Tórshavn harbour in two parts, Eystaravág and Vesteravág.
