Description:... Copenhagen, capital of Denmark for nearly 1000 years, is a civilized and attractive city. Its social and political history is reflected in its architecture, which spans from the first re-modelling in Renaissance style by the Architect King, Christian IV (1588-1648), to the present century's wealth of public housing and welfare buildings, commissioned by the agencies of an unchallenged social democracy.
