Freedom Square, Central square in Minsk, Belarus
Freedom Square contains the historic Minsk City Hall and connects to several important streets that form the central network of the capital city.
The square originated from a major restructuring after a fire in the late 16th century, leading to the creation of a Renaissance-style urban layout.
The square features the Bernardine Monastery complex, which includes a church built upon the foundations of an earlier wooden structure from the 17th century.
Multiple bus and tram lines provide direct access to Freedom Square, while nearby cafes and shops offer services to visitors throughout the day.
Letters from the 1860s belonging to a Bernardine cleric were discovered in the monastery's attic during reconstruction work on the buildings.
