The ramparts
Old earthwork fortifications with angular bastions form Christiania's eastern edge. They create one of the strongest outlines anywhere on a Copenhagen map.

About this Freetown Christiania map poster
Freetown Christiania occupies a former military area in Christianshavn, on the eastern side of central Copenhagen. From above, its outline is set by seventeenth-century fortifications. Long, angular earthworks and a moat, the Stadsgraven, run along its eastern side and give the area the shape of a star-fort fragment. Inside, the map shows no regular streets, only paths and scattered buildings.
In 1971, a group of squatters moved into the abandoned barracks and declared the area a free town, independent of the usual city rules. After decades of disputes with the Danish state, residents formed a foundation and bought much of the land in 2012. Christiania is car-free, so paths and bicycle routes replace roads.
The area is a mix of converted barracks, self-built houses along the water and green spaces on the ramparts. A Freetown Christiania map poster shows an unusual plan: military geometry on the outside and organic, footpath-led growth within. For a city known for orderly design, it is a striking exception.

The moat
The Stadsgraven runs along the ramparts as a long, crooked strip of water. Houses and paths follow its banks rather than any street grid.
Car-free paths
Christiania has no through roads. On the map, its internal routes appear as fine, winding lines between buildings and green spaces.

Why Freetown Christiania
A map that means something
Christiania means different things to different people: an experiment, a home or a place they spent a memorable summer. A map shows the unusual shape of the place itself without telling anyone what to think of it.
Add your own title, subtitle and coordinates to mark a visit or a year spent here. Choose from five styles, from Classic black & white to Sand. Blueprint works especially well with the geometry of the old fortifications.
