Akershus Castle


It's also a fortress, and has been successfully
protecting Oslo since sometime in the early 1300s.
 It's open to the public but is still a military area 
(don't when these cannons were last used though).

    Those are great looking old cannons, possibly 17th or early 18th Century. I suspect the gun carriages are newer, but they make for a lovely photo.
