Place de la Révolution, Central square and pedestrian zone in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Place de la Révolution encompasses 25,000 square meters, bordered by government buildings and financial institutions in downtown Ouagadougou.
The square transformed from a colonial-era Place d'Arboussier to Place de la Révolution following the 1983 revolution, marked by Le Flambeau monument.
The square features a relief sculpture representing Burkina Faso and serves as a central location for national celebrations and community gatherings.
Located near the Central Bank of West African States and military headquarters, the square provides open space for public events and demonstrations.
The January 1966 mass gathering at this location led to President Maurice Yaméogo's resignation, changing the nation's political direction.
