Independence Square

At the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets in Charlotte, Independence Square stands as a focal point of the city, featuring a striking public art display. Erected in 1995 and completed by American sculptor Raymond Kaskey, the square is home to four 24-foot-high bronze figures that personify Charlotte’s past and future. These imposing sculptures, each with intricate details, offer visitors a visual narrative of the city’s rich history and its aspirations. Today, the square serves as a vibrant gathering place where locals and tourists alike can appreciate the blend of art and urban life.
