Independence Square, Central square in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Independence Square features an ornate fountain at its center, surrounded by pathways, grassy areas, and historical buildings with colonial architecture.
The area, formerly known as Pall Mall Square until 1983, functioned as a slave trading site with holding cells still visible in surrounding building basements.
The square layout follows the pattern of a Union Jack, reflecting the architectural influences during the British colonial period in Saint Kitts.
The location serves as a central meeting point in Basseterre, hosting regular community gatherings, public events, and celebrations throughout the year.
The square contains a stone fountain constructed in 1855 to mark the implementation of the first pipe-borne water system in Basseterre.
