Boston - Copley Square

 
To the west of the Hancock Tower is Copley Square, the main square of the Back Bay area, surrounded by both old and ultra-modern buildings, department stores, restaurants, hotels and shops. On the east side of the square is Trinity Church, a Neo-Romanesque red sandstone building with fine stained glass, some of it by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.

Must-see attractions nearby:
On the west side is Boston Public Library (1895), in Italian Renaissance style. Farther west is the ultra-modern Prudential Center, with the Prudential Tower.

This is an active area with great people watching, shopping, and sightseeing. Visitors will find high end hotels and businesses, and many business folk coming and going. In summer the park features fountains and is very scenic.
