The Palace Square is the main traffic road in Copenhagen, where two streets intersect, forming a crossroads. Like many palace squares in Europe, the Danish Palace Square is also an octagonal square. In the middle is the statue of King Christian V, the founder of the square, and the palace's four buildings are divided into four corners of the intersection. The palace square can be passed by pedestrians, and visitors can also take pictures with the guards standing guard in front of the palace. The Church of the Vitres can be seen from the Palace Square.
