Christian Science Plaza, Church complex and urban plaza in Back Bay, United States.
The Christian Science Plaza extends across 14 acres and includes a reflecting pool, fountains, and The Mother Church surrounded by modern buildings.
The plaza emerged through several construction phases starting in 1894, with major expansions completed in 1906 and additional modernization in the 1970s.
The Mary Baker Eddy Library within the plaza contains exhibits, archives, and the Mapparium globe that shows the world as it appeared in 1935.
Visitors can access the plaza daily, with guided tours of The Mother Church available on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at scheduled times.
The three-story stained glass Mapparium allows people to stand inside a hollow glass sphere and view Earth from an interior perspective.
