Israels Plads

The square is located in the area which was released after Copenhagen's Bastioned Fortifications were decommissioned in the second half of the 19th century.An example is 1–5 Rømersgade which was designed by Julius Bagger for Hans Hansen, better known as Hellig-Hansen, a prominent developer of the time who later built the entertainment venues National and Dagmar Theatre before he went bankrupt in 1884.There are public skateboarding areas and a streetball cage on the square, but football and basketball can also be played, which are used by three adjacent schools as break and open spaces.The implementation of the project was delayed due to a dispute with the owner of an underground car park, but construction finally started in 2012.[13] Israels Plads was nominated as an "Archdaily 2018 Building of the Year Award Finalist" in the "Public Architecture" category.
