Maidan Al-Shuhada, Central square in Tripoli, Libya
The expansive Martyrs' Square features a large fountain at its center, with broad avenues extending towards the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Castle.
Originally named Piazza Italia during Italian colonial rule, the square underwent multiple name changes, including Green Square during the Gaddafi period and Independence Square.
The square stands at the intersection of Omar Mukhtar Avenue and Independence Street, forming the commercial heart of Tripoli with numerous shops and cafes.
Located near the Red Castle museum, the square offers convenient access to public transportation and serves as a central meeting point in Tripoli.
During the 2011 revolution, thousands of citizens gathered in this square to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr, marking the end of Gaddafi's administration.
