Þingvellir is one of the most important places in Icelandic history: one of the oldest parliamentary institutions of the world (the Alþingi) was founded here in the year 930 and the independence of the Republic of Iceland was proclaimed here on June 17, 1944.
The place sits on the rift between the North American and European tectonic plates.
