This district is the historic, geographic and political heart of present-day Copenhagen, and reflects the history of Denmark. Its boundaries pretty much reflect the entire city’s extent during the reign of King Christian IV (1588-1648).
At the time it was a fortified city and its borders were made of defensive walls with moats. To ensure water for the moats there was a series of dams.
Entry and exit to the city was through the town's four gates: Vesterport ("Western Gate") near the current Copenhagen City Hall (Rådhus), Nørreport ("Northern Gate") near the current Nørreport station, Østerport ("Eastern Gate") by Kastellet, and Amagerport ("Amager Gate", i.e. functionally the Southern Gate) between Christianshavn and the island of Amager. The gates were dismantled in 1856. The locations are now commemorated with milestones erected on the spot.
