anciently Bergi; a city of Norway, and capital of the province of Bergenhus. It is the see of a bishop, and has a strong castle and a good port. It is a large place; but is subject to fires, as being all built of wood. It is surrounded with mountains, and the inhabitants amount to 15,000. The country is generally barren; in consequence of which, most of the corn used is imported. The principal trade is in stock-fish, fir, and deal-boards. E. Long. 5. 45. N. Lat. 60. 11.
