A walker makes his way up the round tower in Copenhagen, capital of denmark. The Rundetaarn or Rundetårn ("round tower") is a building in the Danish capital Copenhagen. The tower contains Europe's oldest observatory; it is still in use. The 34.8-metre-high tower is part of the Trinitatis complex, which was built for Copenhagen students. The complex also includes a library and a church. The spiral corridor, 192 metres long and 4.5 metres wide, has no steps but an ascending path that goes up in 7.5 windings around the hollow core. This path used to continue up to the astronomical observatory, but the last part now just has steps. On the wall at the front of the tower is a gilded rebus, probably devised by the king himself. The rebus can be interpreted in different ways, but it is believed to read: "Lead God, right doctrine and justice into the heart of the crowned king Christian IV, 1642".
