The lion statues at the Fish Market (Fisketorget) in Bergen were created by the Norwegian sculptor Dyre Vaa (visit link) . They were installed in 1971, adding a distinctive touch to the vibrant atmosphere of the market. Dyre Vaa, known for his sculptures and monuments throughout Norway, designed these statues to symbolize strength and resilience, aligning with Bergen's historical and cultural heritage. The placement of the lion statues at such a central and busy location has since made them an iconic part of the city's landscape.
