Gråbrødre torv - København

The buildings on the southern side of the square were built in the years after the fire of 1728, while the houses to the west were erected after the British bombardment. The square is characterized by colorful house fronts and dominated by a large plane tree. There is also a fountain in granite, designed by Søren Georg Jensen and inaugurated in 1971. The square is lined by a number of restaurants with out-door service and is a popular venue for small out-door concerts, particularly during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
