Historians disagree on the year when this city succeeded Nidaros as its country's capital. It was founded at the foot of the Ekeberg hill on the Aker river, which gives its name to the Akershus fortress at the city's center. Destroyed by fire in 1624, the city was restored by Christian IV but only became the country's largest city in 1850, when it surpassed Bergen. Now the home of King Harald V, it has been the permanent seat of the king since the time of Haakon V. For ten points, name this city, known as Christiania from 1640 to 1925, the capital of Norway.
