The latest Parisian news is not the first year begins with the mention of the Place de la Republique (Place de la Republique). This place was chosen for protests not only by Parisians, but also by the French in general, first of all, thanks to a 10-meter figure with a laurel branch in a raised hand, personifying the French Republic as a symbol of democracy. At the pedestal there are figures depicting Freedom, Equality, Fraternity. Once the square was used as a military parade ground for training soldiers.
The square is surrounded by an interesting architectural ensemble; it has been rebuilt and expanded more than once, and in its current form the square was decorated in 1854.8 boulevards-streets diverge from here, the square is an important transport hub. From Place de la Bastille towards Montmartre, Boulevard Temple leads to it. The metro station bears the same name as the square.
