NYTORV AND GAMMEL TORV
The Strøget passes in the middle of these two large squares. Left, when you arrive at the city hall, Gammel Torv (the old place), which has always been a heterogeneous gathering place, merchants once, punks yesterday, and messed from everywhere today. The great fountain appoints Caritas; a golden apple floats on the top of its jet on the days of birthday of a member of the royal family. Right, Nytorv (the new square), with what has long been Copenhagen city hall, then the courthouse. Built in stone at the beginning of the th century in a neo-classical style, his recent restoration allowed him to recover all his shine after centuries of darkness. On its pediment, the inscription Med Lov skal man land bygge means «By laws, the country must be built».
