Hans Christian Andersen's home city has changed a great deal since he was a child. Even so, there still remain buildings and specific areas in the city, which look exactly as they did when the poet ran around in his childhood days. Round about the city centre you can find 13 granite squares, set in the pavement, marking places connected to Hans Christian Andersen.
