XII century The ancient church of Saint Peter was built in the very heart of the medieval city not far from Saint Peter's Gate. Known as the Church of San Pedro and San Ildefonso, it was built on a Visigothic church. The Church of San Ildefonso was renovated in Romanesque style during the 12th century, preserving the doorway, the main chapel and a rose window.

Walking through the historic center before reaching the Cathedral, we visited this church full of a lot of history, apart from the fact that after the Cathedral it is the largest church. Built on a Visigoth church in the 12th century, later renovated and expanded in the 15th century. In the 16th century it was declared an Archpriest church. Inside, the remains of San Ildefonso and San Atilano rest on the High Altar. Declared a National Monument in 1974. The interior is worth seeing and photographing.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
