Hallgrimskirkja (Literally: The church of Hallgrímur) is with its 73 meters the tallest building in Iceland. The church is named after an Icelandic poet and clergyman, Hallgrímur Pétursson (1614-1674), who is best known in Iceland for his hymns.

It took 38 years to build the church; construction work began in 1948 and ended in 1986.

Situated in the city centre, it is visible throughout the city and has become one of Reykjavik's best known symbols.
