Kongens Nytorv ("The King's New Square") is a the largest square in Copenhagen. It was commissioned by Christian V in 1670 along with a major extension of the fortified city. The initiative moved the centre of the city from the medieval area around Gammeltorv, at that time a muddy medieval marketplace, to a cobbled new square with a garden complex, inspired by the city planning seen in Paris. With direct inspiration from the equestrian statue of Louis XIII erected at the center of Place des Vosges in Paris, the center of Kongens Nytorv has an equestrian statue of Christian V, dressed like a Roman imperator with a laurel wreathed helmet.
