Hallgrímskirkja is the largest church- and the sixth tallest architectural structure in Iceland. It's named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrimur Petursson, author of the Passion Hymns. The architect who designed it, Guðjón Samúelsson is said to have designed it to resemble the basalt lava flows of Iceland's landscape.

The construction work began in 1945 and took 38 years to be completed. The observation tower provides a view of the whole city and the surrounding mountains. The statue of explorer Leif Eiriksson is in front of the church.
