Sverd i fjell (Swords in Mountain) is a commemorative monument located at the Hafrsfjord fjord, just outside the city of Stavanger in Norway. The monument was created by sculptor Fritz Røed from Bryne and was unveiled by king Olav V of Norway in 1983. Three very tall swords are planted into the rock of a small hill next to the fjord. They commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord that took place here in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.
