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, 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. 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.
