AMAGERTORV
Amagertorv is considered the central square of Copenhagen, the crossroads of the city in the heart of Strøget. Its name is mentioned as early as 1472. It seems to be related to the market once supplied by the peasants of Amager Island. Among the notable elements, its polychrome granite pavement, designed by Bjørn Norgaard; the Stork Fountain, a wedding anniversary gift to Frederik VIII and his wife Louise in 1894, facing the very chic Europa café; and the buildings with elegant gabled facades, including that of Mayor Matthias Hansen dating from 1666.
