Next stop on the trip will be the
City Hall from 1892
Like it's London cousin this tower also have a signature ring that goes every hour with the extended version at noon - that for long was played live on the radio before the noon news ( these days it's taped )
The City Hall Square is one of the central points of the city - and usually used for public gatherings, be that New Years eve, or parades for winning sports team or whatever - in the winter it's even home to a small ski jump hill for a short time
I will revisit more of the square soon, so let's leave it at that for now..
About the tower I can say it's like the Parliament building's tower is
106m tall and unlike the Parliament have a nice viewing platform open to the public each day at noon with a great view of the city..
The golden plate above the main entrence is a statue of
Bishop Absalon the man who founded Copenhagen in 1167 ( prior to that it was just a small fishing village )
