Christiania is an alternative residential area in central Copenhagen that enjoys a certain degree of autonomy.
It was established on a former military barracks by a group of squatters in 1971.
The area is often referred to as a haven and has been known, among other things, for allowing the widespread sale of drugs.
For several decades, there have been battles between criminal organizations to control drug sales in the region.
