Savannah was designed with 24 squares. A couple have been used to construct new government buildings, but 20 or so remain. The squares are shaded and great places to relax, read a book, or just meditate on the history that surrounds you. Here are two in the historic district.

Casimir Pulaski Monument in Savannah, or Pulaski Monument on Monterey Square, is a 19th-century monument to Casimir Pulaski, located at the Monterey Square not far from the battlefield where Pulaski lost his life during the siege of Savannah.
Sources vary with regards to when the cornerstone for the monument was placed, with either 1825, involving the presence of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayett, or 1853 being given.
