Lilletorget Explained

Lilletorget (originally named Vaterlands Torv) is a square in Oslo, Norway. It was established as a square in 1867, and was named Lilletorvet from 1872. It is located near the Vaterland Bridge of Brugata.[1]

Ola Enstad's sculpture Norwegian: Neve og rose (English: Fist and Rose) from 1991 is located at Lilletorget.[2] [3]

There was also a temporary station with the same name, which was established to replace Brugata and Hausmanns gate, which were being upgraded and reconstructed. This was removed in 2021.
