Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík and it is the city's main landmark. At 74.5 metres high, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in Iceland.
The statue of explorer Leif Eriksson (c. 970 – c. 1020) in front of the Hallgrímskirkja church. The statue, by Alexander Stirling Calder, predates the church's construction. It was a gift from the United States in honor of the 1930 Alþingi Millennial Festival, commemorating the 1000th anniversary of Iceland's parliament at Þingvellir in 930 AD.
