Independence Square, Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally called Pall Mall Square, it was renamed Independence Square on the occasion of St. Kitts & Nevis achieving political independence on September 19th, 1983. The Government first acquired Pall Mall Square in 1750 and it rapidly became the administrative, commercial and social centre of Basseterre. The Square was the site of the slave market. Slaves arriving from Africa were temporarily quartered in the basement of a building on the south side of the Square.
