Memorial South Pool, Memorial fountain in the Financial District, Manhattan, United States.
This large square water feature displays continuous waterfalls cascading down four walls into a central void, creating a reflective space surrounded by bronze parapets inscribed with victims' names.
Built within the footprint of the original South Tower of the World Trade Center, this memorial opened in 2011 to honor those who perished in the September 11 attacks.
The names of 2,983 victims are arranged on the surrounding bronze parapets based on meaningful relationships and connections rather than alphabetical order, reflecting personal bonds and shared experiences.
The memorial operates daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM with free admission, though visitors must pass through security screening before entering the memorial plaza area.
White roses are placed on specific names throughout the year, particularly on victims' birthdays, creating a living tribute that personalizes the collective remembrance experience for families and visitors.
