Ambitious visitors may climb the 295 steps to the top of the monument, from atop of which one can take in panoramic sights of Boston’s skyline.

Still an active Episcopalian church, Old North Church is possibly the oldest religious structure in Boston, dating back to 1723. It occupies a special place in American history.

Every April, members of the colonial militia begin a lantern service commemorating this historic event.

Esta estrutura italiana centenária, com portas de bronze e grandes escadarias de mármore, a Biblioteca Pública de Boston foi a primeira biblioteca municipal gratuita do país. O primeiro prédio da biblioteca na Rua Mason era uma antiga escola, que foi inaugurada em 1854. Após uma decisão autorizada, os então resposnsáveis pela biblioteca encontraram um novo prédio para ela na Rua Boylston. Assim, o local da Copley Square tornou-se o lar da biblioteca em 1895. Expandindo o local da Copley Square em 1972, o edifício McKim foi construído. Neste Marco Histórico Nacional, você pode encontrar coleções de mapas e gravuras, livros e manuscritos raros e séries de murais finos. A Biblioteca Pública de Boston oferece passeios diários destacando os famosos edifícios da biblioteca central e obras de arte de alguns artistas prolíficos de eras passadas.
