This Fountain of Charity in Gammel Torv (Old Square) in the photo is only one of the fascinating sites on the Stroget. Although the statue has been in Gammel Torv since the 1600s, the two figures were once "corked" during the Victorian era, and the statue was put high on this pedestal so that the pregnant nude woman and the young boy would not be so noticeable. Sights and stories like this one are found all over Copenhagen (and most other cities).
Near Gammel Torv is the marvelous neoclassical Lutheran church, the Cathedral of Our Lady. It looks much like a Greek Temple, with all the Apostles in Roman togas. The church has marvelous acoustics and free organ concerts each Saturday at noon. We were lucky enough to be there when someone was practicing on the organ, and it was beautiful!
As you continue strolling down the Stroget, don't miss all the street mimes and shopping opportunities. You will find many upscale shops along with street vendors.
