The cathedral's
facade
looks like a Greek temple. (Two blocks to the right,
in the distance, notice more Neoclassicism—the law courts.) You can see why
Golden Age Copenhagen (early 1800s) fancied itself a Nordic Athens. Old
Testament figures (King David and Moses) flank the cathedral's entryway.
Above, John the Baptist stands where you'd expect to see Greek gods. He in-
vites you in...to the New Testament.
