1. Kiperviktorget Marker
I sin nåværende form: 1995
Ansvarlig arkitekt: Sandbakk & Pettersen
Eier: Ålesund kommune
Byen har tidligere hatt flere torg og også en Torghall. Av disses har Kiperviktorget beholdt en spesiell posisjon som tradisjonsrik møteplass og handelsplass, og er for de fleste ålesundere Torget med stor T. Opprinnelig grenset Kiperviktorget til sjøen med sjøtrapper. Senere utfyllinger og vegbygging har avskåret den forbindelsen.

Owner: Ålesund municipality
The town has previously had several squares and also a Town Hall. Of these, Kiperviktorget has retained a special position as a traditional meeting place and trading place, and is for most Ålesunders Square with a capital T. Originally, Kiperviktorget bordered the sea with sea steps. Later fillings and road construction have cut off that connection.
Erected by Lions Club.
