In 2005 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is 15 kilometers long branch of the Sunnylvsfjord which is a branch of the Storfjord (Great Fjord), cutting in from the Atlantic coast just sound of the coastal town of Alesund. Arriving to Alesund will be in the early evening. Alesund is one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations and famous for its Art Nouveau architecture. Blessed with one of those picture-perfect Norwegian settings surrounded by fjords and the high peaks of the Sunnmore Alps. In 1904 the majority of Ålesund, at the time comprised of wooden structures, was destroyed in a fire. Shortly after, over 50 architects from all over the country were brought in to design a new city. It was decided that the town would be re-built in the popular style of the time, Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, which utilized stronger materials like brick and mortar.
