Rundetarn

With it being Sunday, some towers were not open, so the first we got to was the Round Tower. I don't have the historical details but I assume most of these were built in the Renaissance in case you need some context. This one, the fat round tower, didn't have stairs until the very top. Instead you ascended on a spiral walkway that rose at a fairly shallow angle making the walk to the top quite easy. A short staircase at the very top took you out to a viewing platform where we got our first view of Copenhagen from altitude. The mishmash of architecture accentuates the cosmopolitan feel you get on the ground here but rising out of the mix are all the towers, the only buildings to stand out to any great degree. It would appear over the centuries whenever a building was commissioned it had to have a tower: cathedrals, halls, universities, libraries. And somehow Katarina's feet, still in pain, survived the ordeal.
