	[[~~Freetown Christiania~~]] a ~~community~~ is ~~located~~ in Copenhagen. During the 16th century, the city served as the ''[[de facto]]'' capital of the [[Kalmar Union]] and the seat of the Union's monarchy, which governed most of the modern-day [[Nordic countries\|Nordic region]] as part of a Danish [[confederation]] with Sweden and [[Norway]]. The city flourished as the cultural and economic centre of [[Scandinavia]] during the [[Renaissance]], and by the 17th century, it had become a regional centre of power, serving as the heart of the Danish government and [[Military history of Denmark\|military]]. During the 18th century, Copenhagen suffered from a [[Great Northern War plague outbreak\|devastating plague outbreak]] and urban [[conflagration]]s, and proceeded to undergo several major redevelopment efforts, which included the construction of the prestigious district of [[Frederiksstaden]] and the establishment of cultural institutions such as the [[Royal Danish Theatre\|Royal Theatre]] and the [[Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts\|Royal Academy of Fine Arts]]. The city also became the centre of the [[Danish slave trade]] during this period. In 1807, the city was [[Battle of Copenhagen (1807)\|bombarded by a British fleet]] during the [[Napoleonic Wars]], before the [[Danish Golden Age]] brought a [[Neoclassical architecture\|Neoclassical look]] to Copenhagen's architecture. After [[World War II]], the [[Finger Plan]] fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes emanating from the city centre.		Originally a [[Vikings\|Viking]] fishing village established in the 10th century in the vicinity of what is now [[Gammel Strand]], Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. During the 16th century, the city served as the ''[[de facto]]'' capital of the [[Kalmar Union]] and the seat of the Union's monarchy, which governed most of the modern-day [[Nordic countries\|Nordic region]] as part of a Danish [[confederation]] with Sweden and [[Norway]].

After [[World War II]], the [[Finger Plan]] fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes emanating from the city centre.

	Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen strong urban and cultural development, facilitated by investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is the [[Culture of Denmark\|cultural]], [[Economy of Denmark\|economic]] and [[Politics of Denmark\|governmental]] centre of Denmark; it is one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe with the [[Copenhagen Stock Exchange]]. Copenhagen's economy has developed rapidly in the [[service sector]], especially through initiatives in [[information technology]], [[pharmaceuticals]] and [[clean technology]]. Since the completion of the [[Øresund Bridge]], Copenhagen has increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of [[Scania]] and its largest city, Malmö, forming the [[Øresund Region]]. With several bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterised by parks, promenades, and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks such as [[Tivoli Gardens]], ''[[The Little Mermaid (statue)\|The Little Mermaid]]'' statue, the [[Amalienborg]] and [[Christiansborg Palace\|Christiansborg]] palaces, [[Rosenborg Castle]], [[Frederik's Church]], [[Børsen]] and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions.

	Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen strong urban and cultural development, facilitated by investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is the [[Culture of Denmark\|cultural]], [[Economy of Denmark\|economic]] and [[Politics of Denmark\|governmental]] centre of Denmark; it is one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe with the [[Copenhagen Stock Exchange]]. Copenhagen's economy has developed rapidly in the [[service sector]], especially through initiatives in [[information technology]], [[pharmaceuticals]] and [[clean technology]]. Since the completion of the [[Øresund Bridge]], Copenhagen has increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of [[Scania]] and its largest city, Malmö, forming the [[Øresund Region]]. With several bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterised by parks, promenades, and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks such as [[Tivoli Gardens]], ''[[The Little Mermaid (statue)\|The Little Mermaid]]'' statue, the [[Amalienborg]] and [[Christiansborg Palace\|Christiansborg]] palaces, [[Rosenborg Castle]], [[Frederik's Church]], [[Børsen]] and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions.
