Photos of Frederik V

The Palace Square is located next to the Amalienborg Palace and is the main traffic artery in Copenhagen. The two streets intersect here to form a crossroads. Like many palace squares in Europe, the Danish Palace Square is also an octagonal square. In the middle of it is the equestrian statue of King Christian V, the founder of the square, and the four buildings of the palace are divided on the four corners of the intersection. The nearby Amalienborg Palace has a very plain appearance and is still inhabited by members of the royal family, but there are no strict controls and high palace walls. The Palace Square can be freely passed by pedestrians, and tourists can also take photos with the guards standing guard in front of the Palace Building. Also near the square are the old Charlottenburg Palace and the Theatre Royal.
