Amagertorv Square

Amager Square in Copenhagen is often referred to as the city center, although in fact the central square is located near the city hall. Amager is considered one of the oldest places in Copenhagen. The square was designed at the beginning of the XVI century, getting its name thanks to farmers from the Amager district, who sold their products here. In addition, it was customary to arrange knightly tournaments and fights, which still remember the old pavement.

In the southern part of the square is the Christiansborg Palace and the luxurious building of the famous Royal Copenhagen manufactory, decorated in the Renaissance style.
