The Stone Crosses at Tjora are an iconic sight in the Stavanger region of Norway.

Located in the village of Tjora, the crosses date back to the Middle Ages and are believed to have been erected as a way of marking the boundaries of the local parish.

The crosses are made of granite and are decorated with intricate carvings, including the traditional Norwegian rosemaling pattern.

The crosses are an important part of the local culture and have been declared a protected cultural heritage site.

Visitors can explore the area on foot or by car, and there are plenty of opportunities to take photographs of the crosses and the surrounding landscape.

There is also a small museum nearby which provides more information about the history and significance of the crosses.
