Christiania
Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania is a partially self-governing neighbourhood of about 850 residents, covering 34 hectares (85 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital Copenhagen. Christiania has established semi-legal status as an independent community, but has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its open cannabis trade was tolerated by polity until 2004. Since then, measures for normalising the legal status of the accord hit led to conflicts, and negotiations are ongoing. Among many Christiania residents, the accord is known as staden (‘the town’), short for fristaden (‘the freetown). Nice tourist spot.
