Overview
Canals, lakes and the sea form the backdrop to modern Copenhagen and are a reminder of the citys heritage as a major Baltic port. This role is also reflected in the citys name, København, a corruption of købmanne hafen or merchants harbour.
The citys foundation dates back to 1167, when Bishop Absalon built a bastion on the island of Slotsholmen, today the site of Christiansborg Palace and the Danish parliament. In 1417, the city became the royal capital of a huge swathe of Scandinavia that included not just Denmark but parts of Sweden and Norway.

Many of Copenhagens most impressive buildings were constructed during the celebrated reign of Christian IV (1588-1648).
