Independence Flagstaff

Independence Flagstaff is an impressive monument located in Union Square Park in Manhattan. This 40-foot copper-clad steel structure, topped with a gilded sun, commemorates the 150th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.

On the granite base, admire bronze bas-reliefs designed by Anthony de Francisci, depicting a procession of idealized citizens moving toward freedom and the coats of arms of the original 13 states.

This is the perfect place for lovers of American history and art to admire the artistry and soak in the patriotic atmosphere.
