The Rundetaarn or Round Tower is a 17th century tower and one of the many projects of Christian IV of Denmark.  It was built as an astronomical observatory and noted for its equestrian staircase inside. 

Komgend Nytorv is a lovely public square centrally located at the end of the pedestrian street Strøget.  It was laid out by Christian V in 1670 with an equestrian statue of himself at its center.

Sankt Pauls Plads 2

These people are staging a protest. The owners of this square want to remove the statues and put in a car park.  I am not sure when I have ever seen such a bored group of people.
