Review:
Located at the edge of Copenhagen proper, in Østerbro area, Kastellet (or the Citadel, as the Danish call it) is a set of wonderfully preserved star fortresses designed in the shape of a pentagram, with bastions on all five corners. Kastellet was part of the ramparts that used to stand all around Copenhagen.
Only Christianshavn still exists. It was built in 1660 by King Christian IV to protect Copenhagen from the sea. Within the Kastellet are a church and a famous windmill. Kastellet still houses diverse military activities, but it is mostly a popular public park and an important historic site. Both the church and the military organize frequent concerts on the Kastellet grounds.
