Stavanger dates its official founding to the completion of its cathedral in 1125. Protected eighteenth- and nineteenth-century wooden houses give the center an unusually high share of detached buildings.

The preserved core has small blocks and narrow streets beside the harbor. Population growth moved outward, so the inner pattern changes quickly to looser peninsula development.

Stavanger's preserved wooden-house districts and harbor fit within a two-kilometre radius. Peninsula shorelines bound the small central blocks on several sides.

Warm-white wooden-house streets can meet a slate harbor edge. Fine navy lines can preserve the detached-house scale while darker port routes mark the waterfront.
