Ellis Square, Public square in Downtown Historic District, Savannah, United States.
Ellis Square features a modern water fountain with synchronized jets, shaded seating areas, and a life-size chess set for public entertainment.
Originally established in 1733 as Market Square, the space functioned as a central marketplace until 1954 when it was converted into a parking garage.
A bronze statue of Johnny Mercer, who wrote over 1,400 songs and co-founded Capitol Records, stands at ground level in the western section.
The square connects to City Market and provides convenient access to numerous restaurants, including Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons restaurant.
The interactive water fountain creates random patterns and changes colors at night, allowing visitors to navigate through the water sequences without getting wet.
