Copenhagen (Danish: København [kʰøpm̩ˈhɑwˀn] (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. As of 1 January 2020, the city had a population of 794,128 with 632,340 in Copenhagen Municipality, 104,305 at Frederiksberg Municipality, 42,989 at Tårnby Municipality, and 14,494 at Dragør Municipality. It forms the core of the wider metropolitan area of Copenhagen (population 1,330,993) and the Copenhagen metropolitan area (population 2,057,142). Copenhagen is located on the eastern shore of the island of Zealand; another section of the city can be found on Amager, and it's separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the strait of Øresund. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by rail and road.
Originally a Viking fishing village established in the 10th century in the vicinity of what is now Gammel Strand, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century, it consolidated its position as a regional centre of power with its institutions, defences, and armed forces. During the Renaissance the city functioned as the de facto capital being the seat of government of the Kalmar Union, regulating the whole present day Nordic area in a personal union with Sweden and Norway ruled by the Danish monarch serving as the head of state. The city prospered as the cultural and economic centre of Scandinavia under the marriage for well over 120 years, beginning in the 15th century up until the beginning of the 16th century when the marriage was dissolved with Sweden leaving the union through a rebellion. After a plague outbreak and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and heritage of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Horatio Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age attracted a Neoclassical appearance to Copenhagen's architecture.
