The Three Crowns Tower at Christiansborg Palace

La Torre delle Tre Corone del Palazzo di Christiansborg a Copenaghen

The Three Crowns Tower at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.
It is one of the most iconic attractions in Copenhagen, Denmark. This tower, located on the island of Slotsholmen, is part of the Christiansborg Palace complex, which houses the Danish parliament, the executive branch and the judiciary, making it unique in the world.
The site of Christiansborg Palace has been occupied by several buildings over the centuries. The first structure, Absalon's Castle, was built in 1167 by Bishop Absalon of Roskilde. In 1733, Christian VI of Denmark began construction of the first Christiansborg Palace, which was destroyed by fire in 1794. A second palace was built and used until 1884, when another fire devastated it. The current structure, completed in 1928, is in neo-Baroque style and features three crowns on the tower's spire to symbolize the palace's three restorations.
The Three Crowns Tower is the tallest structure in Copenhagen and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. The tower is decorated with three crowns, representing the palace's three reconstruction periods. The palace's architecture combines Baroque and Neoclassical elements, with artistic details that reflect Danish history and culture.
In addition to the Three Crowns Tower, Christiansborg Palace is home to several attractions, including the Royal Apartments, the ruins of Absalon's Castle, the Royal Chapel and the Royal Stables. The Royal Apartments offer a glimpse into the lives of the Danish monarchs, with rooms decorated with portraits of the royal family and historic furnishings. The ruins of Absalon's Castle, dating back to the 12th century, are a unique opportunity to explore the ancient history of the site.
Christiansborg Palace hosts cultural events, official ceremonies and guided tours that allow visitors to discover the history and architecture of the palace. The tower offers a panoramic view of Copenhagen and the harbor, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

The Three Crowns Tower at Christiansborg Palace is a symbol of resilience and renewal, representing the three periods of reconstruction of the palace. With its imposing architecture and panoramic views, the tower is one of Copenhagen’s most fascinating attractions. Visiting it is an enriching experience that allows you to immerse yourself in Danish history and culture.

Oggi (a dire la verità diverso tempo fa) lo sguardo del mio obiettivo si è posato sulla mastodontica cupola di una delle più famose chiese di Copenaghen.

La Frederiks Kirke (chiesa di Federico in danese), meglio nota come Marmorkirken (Chiesa marmorea) è una delle chiese di Copenaghen, capitale della Danimarca. Fu progettata dall’architetto Nicolai Eigtved nel 1740 insieme al Frederiksstad, il quartiere di Copenaghen in cui si trova, per commemorare il 300º anniversario dell’incoronazione del primo membro del Casato degli Oldenburg.

The citadel called Kastellet in Copenhagen.
If you want to walk from the center of Copenhagen (Copenhagen) to see the Little Mermaid you must necessarily pass through the famous star-shaped fortified district called Kastellet.
Inside there is a small fortress whose buildings, of a flaming red, have their own charm.
The star shape of the park and the canals make it all even more fascinating.

La statua della Sirenetta a Copenhagen.
Forse è una delle statue di fiabe più conosciute al mondo. Rappresenta la Sirenetta protagonista di una delle fiabe di Hans Christian Andersen (tanto caro a noi Sestresi che ogni anno gli intitoliamo un premio di letteratura per bambini).

La statua fu commissionata nel 1909 da Carl Jacobsen, figlio del fondatore di Carlsberg, il quale era rimasto affascinato da un adattamento della fiaba come balletto. Fu realizzata dallo scultore Edvard Eriksen (1876-1959) e mostrata per la prima volta al pubblico il 23 agosto 1913. Eriksen usò sua moglie Eline come modella.

Nyhavn, l’antico porto di Copenhagen

Nyhavn, l’antico porto di Copenhagen.
Se una volta era il porto principale della capitale danese oggi è diventato uno dei punti più attrattivi per i turisti.
Nelle colorate e belle casette che si affacciano sul canale si trovano infatti solamente bar, bistrot e ristorantini (carissimi) nei quali si possono passare un paio d’ore in relax. Magari aspettando uno dei tantissimi battelli turistici iper-carichi di gente. Sembrava quasi di essere nell’ora di punta a Venezia.
Più suggestive sicuramente le imbarcazioni in legno che vi sono attraccate.
Da non perdere comunque!

Here is where the port is located:

Nyhavn fu costruito dal re Cristiano V di Danimarca dal 1670 al 1673, scavato da prigionieri di guerra svedesi dalla guerra Dano-svedese del 1658-1660 . Si tratta di una porta dal mare al vecchio centro urbano di Kongens Nytorv (King’s Square), dove le navi gestivano il carico e il pescato dei pescatori. Era famoso per la birra, i marinai e la prostituzione. L’autore danese Hans Christian Andersen ha vissuto a Nyhavn per circa 18 anni.
