Trinitatis Church

Copenhagen, Denmark

Trinitatis Church is part of the 17th century Trinitatis Complex, which includes the Rundetårn astronomical observatory tower and the Copenhagen University Library, in addition to the church. Built in the time of Christian IV, the church initially served the students of Copenhagen University.

The interior was seriously damaged in the fire of 1728 but was rebuilt in 1731. The bases and capitals of the columns and arches were repaired. All wood furnishings were replaced, and the floor was covered with tiles from Öland. The reconstruction was in Northern Gothic-Baroque style. The church was rededicated October 7, 1731 and the remains of the university library were moved again. The furnishings were renewed with an altarpiece and pulpit by Friederich Ehbisch (1731) and a large Baroque clock (1757). The church was refurbished in 1763.

Beautiful 1700 style church in the heart of Copenhagen. A great place for reflection and peace. Free admission

Beautiful interior. Be sure to climb to the 1st floor for the view. Also visit The Round Tower next door.

Attended an absolutely fantastic korkoncert here. The choral melodies drifted sweetly through the church, as we sat and looked up to the Luminous Ivory ceiling lined with threads of gold. Utterly beautiful.

Quite magnificent place! Such gorgeous architecture and organs! We we're enjoying a classical concert with a soprano and a bariton, and voices sounded extremely well.

Redipuglia World War I Memorial

Redipuglia is the largest Italian Military Sacrarium. It rises up on the western front of the Monte Sei Busi, which, in the First World War was bitterly fought after because, although it was not very high, from its summit it allowed an ample range of access from the West to the first steps of the Karstic table area.

The monumental staircase on which the remains of one hundred thousand fallen soldiers are lined up and which has at its base the monolith of the Duke of Aosta, who was the commanding officer of the third Brigade, and gives an image of a military grouping in the field of a Great Unity with its Commanding Officer at the front. The mortal remains of 100,187 fallen soldiers lie here, 39,857 of them identified and 60,330 unknown.
