It contains monuments to Ghana's independence struggle, including the Independence Arch, Black Star Square, and theLiberation Day Monument.
The Black Star Square is the second largest City Square in the world after the Tiananmen Square in Beijing,China.
An image of Black Star Square can be found on the rear of Ghana's cedi banknotes.
As of 2011, the square is guarded by several soldiers who prohibit people of taking pictures of the area and asking visitors for official permission.
