It is part of the
traditional district of
Sunnmøre and the centre of the
Ålesund Region. The
town of Ålesund is the
administrative centre of Ålesund Municipality, as well as the principal shipping town of the Sunnmøre district. The town is a sea
port and is noted for its concentration of
Art Nouveau architecture. Although sometimes internationally spelled by its older name
Aalesund, this spelling is obsolete in Norwegian. However, the local football club
Aalesunds FK still carries that spelling, having been founded before the official change.
