Copenhagen City Hall

City Hall Square is Copenhagen's largest square. The City Hall building is recognizable by its ornate brick front, clock tower, and the gilded statue of the city’s founder, Bishop Absalon, over the front balcony. The hall was built in the National Romantic style, which was popularized by the architect Martin Nyrop. His design is inspired by the City Hall in Siena, Italy.

The Round Tower

The round tower is a 17th century astronomical observatory that is part of the Trinitatis Complex, which includes the Trinitatis Church and an academic library for the neighbouring Copenhagen University. The library was opened in 1657 and once housed the university’s entire collection — around 10,000 books. Instead of stairs, the tower features a ramp that spirals to the top of the structure.

The Royal Kitchens of Christiansborg Palace
