Faneuil Hall, Historic market hall and assembly building in downtown Boston, United States
Faneuil Hall extends over four floors, containing retail spaces, visitor centers, assembly rooms, and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company museum on the top level.
Constructed in 1742 through merchant Peter Faneuil's funding, this Georgian-style structure became a central location for American independence discussions during the 18th century.
The Great Hall continues its tradition as a public forum, hosting ranger programs, community gatherings, and civic events that explore American rights and liberties.
The National Park Service operates a visitor center on the ground floor, offering free admission to all levels through an accessible entrance with ramps and elevators.
This marketplace receives 18 million annual visitors, surpassing attendance figures of the Eiffel Tower and positioning it among the most frequented tourist sites globally.
