Style and architecture - Christiania Torv
A part of the tour Style and architecture
In this square, which was the heart of the city as it was built in 1624, you are surrounded by some of Kvadraturen’s oldest buildings.
The square's relationship to the street network corresponds to renaissance theoretical requirements for a representative design.
Founder of Kvadraturen, King Christian IV was well versed in contemporary urban planning theory. The square in Livorno in Italy may have been a model.
