Fredericia manhole cover

A beautiful, simple and symmetric manhole cover in Fredericia, Denmark. The pattern on the cover illustrates the road-grid in the ommer city. According to legend, the rods were laid straight in order to be able to fire a canon through the streets in times of war. The spikes illustrate the ramparts sourrounding the city-core.

One of the rare, blank manhole covers. Usually the manhole cover is a canvas for the city logo or the manufactor. But this manhole cover does not reveal anything about who made it or where it is laid down.
