Copenhagen is an old city – more than 1000 years old.
The town was founded about 700 A.C. with a harbour and an market square and surrounded by a fortress of wood planks.
Officially Copenhagen was founded 1167 by bishop Absalon, who ruled the city from his residential town Roskilde and its Cathedral 50 km west of Copenhagen.
He builded “Absalons Castle” on a small island between island Amager and main land Sealand. The castle was demolished by the Hanseatic League in 1369. The ruins of this Castle under Christiansborg Palace is open for the public.
Copenhagen Castle about 1387 – 1731:

In all urban areas of Copenhagen City you can experience the history and all the beautiful historical buildings, squares, parks, canals and Copenhagen Inner Harbour with the old Naval Base “Holmen” founded 1680 on Christianshavn.
Visitors, tourists and inhabitants in Copenhagen enjoy to play, talk, relax and eat on all the old open urban areas of the city.
