Sorry to show you this place, so empty and with not much to offer.
It used to be a colourful busy market place, with HAND MADE items and also fruit, flowers and vegetables from local farmers for sale.
From time to time there have been some salespeople selling mass-produced items from far far away.
A few concerts, some demonstrations, and also openings of the annual food festival.
Over the years there have been competitions, school classes and even (architect) students from abroad who came up with good ideas. I met some from Istanbul one summer who told me about this.
A daughter of some friends won, together with others pupils, a trip to Barcelona.... after a competition with suggestions on what could be done. She is now a young woman, and their winning solutions are probably stuck in a drawer and long forgotten.
This is Stavanger on a cold rainy day......
The good news is that it will be warmer and a bit of sunshine next week.
