Fredericia, Fortified city in Jutland, Denmark
The fortifications of Fredericia form a complete star-shaped perimeter around the old town center, with earthen ramparts extending over 2 kilometers.
King Frederik III established Fredericia in 1650 as a military stronghold, selecting the location for its strategic position near the Little Belt strait.
The city celebrates its military heritage each July 6th with a festival commemorating the 1849 victory over Schleswig-Holstein forces.
Fredericia Railway Station functions as a central junction connecting major Danish cities including Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Odense with international routes.
The Royal Danish Army maintains an active presence through its Signals Regiment, operating from both Rye's Barracks and Bülow's Barracks.
