Karl Johan’s Street is Oslo’s main street, and has been so since the expansion of the city in the 1830’s. The architect
Hans Ditlev Franciscus von Linstow who also designed the Royal Palace made the city plan for the new West End of Oslo (then Christiania). Today statues have been erected for some of the most prominent figures in Norway’s history, both from politics and culture life along this street.
