Legacy
In the area of the Sola Church Ruins (Sola Ruinkirke), there is a monument of Erling Skjalgsson, who was one of Sola's most famous men. This notable Viking leader has been given the honour of having introduced Christianity to Sola. The stone crosses at Tjora (steinkors i Sola-bygda) are also monuments to the passing of the Viking Era.
Erling Skjalgssons gate at Frogner in Oslo was named in his honor as were streets in Trondheim, Stavanger, Haugesund and Sandnes.
