One of the most beautiful monuments of Oslo, though, is situated in the center near the Aker Brygge embankment under the walls of the Akershus Fortress, “hidden” from the tourist’s sight. This monument is dedicated to the 158 victims of a fire that broke out in 1990 on the passenger ferry “Scandinavian Star”.
But two important questions have remained unanswered. Who started the fire and why? More than ten years have passed and the tragedy is still alive in people’s memories, especially the relatives and friends of the dead. It has become a tradition to meet near the monument on the 7th of April every year.
