"Palace of power,
Three branches under one roof,
Denmark's marble halls."

Today's photo-of-the-day was taken in Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. "The palace is home to the three supreme powers of Denmark: the executive power, the legislative power, and the judicial power. It is the only building in the world that houses all three of a country's branches of government. The name Christiansborg is thus also frequently used as a metonym for the Danish political system, and colloquially it is often referred to as simply Borgen ('the castle')."
For us, visiting "Borgen" was a highlight of our trip because we had previously enjoyed the TV series Borgen.
