Amalienborg, Royal palace in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The palace complex features four identical classical buildings with Rococo interiors arranged symmetrically around an octagonal courtyard with an equestrian statue.

Following the fire at Christiansborg Palace in 1794, Amalienborg, initially built for noble families in 1760, became the permanent residence of Danish monarchs.

The Royal Life Guards perform a daily ceremony at noon, marching from Rosenborg Castle through Copenhagen streets to Amalienborg in ceremonial uniforms.

The Amalienborg Museum provides access to royal apartments, state rooms, and exhibits displaying 150 years of monarchy history through original furniture and decorations.

Each of the four palaces bears the name of different Danish kings: Christian VII, Christian VIII, Frederik VIII, and Christian IX.
