Skálholt in Biskupstungur is one of Iceland´s most important historic sites. The country’s first bishop, Ísleifur Gissurarson, ordained in 1056, settled at Skálholt, which was the episcopal see of South Iceland and a center of culture and education for 700 years. Today it is dominated by a cathedral which is surrounded by an educational and cultural center for the national Lutheran church.
