Square Stalingrad, Garden square in 1st arrondissement, Marseille, France.

Square Stalingrad is a public square in the 1st arrondissement of Marseille, laid out with light grey rectangular stone slabs and lined with tall deciduous trees on its left side and behind the monument. At its centre stands the Fontaine des Danaïdes: a stepped white stone base rising to a broad water basin, topped by a sculpted group of pale stone figures whose tallest member stands upright above the rest.

The square was originally named Place des Danaïdes after the ancient mythological figure represented by its fountain. It received its current name in 1946 to honor the Battle of Stalingrad.

The name recalls the Danaïdes, the daughters of King Danaus condemned in Greek myth to fill a leaking vessel forever. Jean-Baptiste Hugues's sculpted group was placed on the square's fountain after municipal deliberations in 1907. The monument's stepped base and water basin now anchor the square between La Canebière and rue Consolat.

The square sits at the junction of several major streets and is easy to reach by different forms of transport. Visitors will find metro stations, tramway stops, and bus lines nearby.

The square acts as a major traffic hub where several central streets of Marseille converge and link different neighborhoods. This location makes it a natural crossing point for people moving through the city.
