Copley Square

Copley Square is a small public park, sunken to 12 feet below grade level, that's located in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston with boundaries defined by the intersections of Boyleston, Clarendon, St. James, and Dartmouth Streets. The square hosts a bronze statue of John Singleton Copley, the colonial New England patriot for which Copley Square was named. Many notable Boston institutions have made Copley Square home including the Old South Church (1873 - present), The Museum of Fine Arts (1876-1919), Trinity Church (1877 - present), the main branch of the Boston Public Library (1895 - present), the John Hancock Tower (1976 - present), and the Bostix Kiosk (1992 - present). More recent additions include a variety of restaurants, botique hotels, and an indoor shopping plaza. It is also host to a farmers market on Tuesdays and Fridays from April through November and sits above MBTA's Copley Station which services the green and orange lines. Most famously, Copley Square is adjacent to the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon.
