Den lille Havfrue

København, Denmark

Den lille Havfrue

This little lady is one of the most photographed in the world. Designed by ''Edvard Eriksen'', Her statue was erected in 1913 to commemorate a play of the Little mermaid. The poor lady has lost her head several times, and is often subject to vandalism connected with political statements. Many visito

rs are often surprised by her modest size (1.25 m (3.3 ft) high). The Little Mermaid is a semi official symbol of Copenhagen.
