48. Denmark
In Copenhagen, homely Rosenberg Castle sits modestly in the King’s Gardens.
Surprising then, the magnificence of the three silver lions guarding the Thrones.
Staring down tourists through all-seeing eyes, challenging still across the Ages.
And in the Harbour, the Little Mermaid sits modestly, too, and waits for her Prince.
