When William Penn founded the city of Philadelphia, he drew up a map that included five public squares - one in the center and one in each quadrant. Originally known as Southwest Square, Rittenhouse Square is today the most vibrant one, home to some of the best restaurants in Philly and lots of luxury shops. Named for astronomer and clockmaker David Rittenhouse, it's a popular spot to relax outdoors and people-watch. Check out the "Lion Crushing a Serpent" sculpture by Antoine-Louis Barye in the central plaza. An allegory of the French Revolution, it depicts the power of good defeating evil.

Judiciary Park
Judiciary Square in Washington, D.C., envisioned by Pierre L’Enfant in 1791, has long been a central legal and governmental hub. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the area houses the Historic Courthouse, completed in 1820, where President Lincoln signed the DC Emancipation Act in 1862, marking a significant moment in American civil rights history. Judiciary Park, which runs along Fourth Street, NW, in the southeast corner of the Historic Courthouse property, features a fountain, trees, grass, and curving brick paths. The Darlington Memorial Fountain, which includes two bronze statutes on top of the fountain, was installed in 1923, and is one of many contributing properties to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site. The park was refurbished and reopened on April 16, 2010, coinciding with DC Emancipation Day. The park commemorates Lincoln's legacy and offers a tranquil urban oasis for the community.
