Independence Square/Black Star Square

This is a place that everyone needs to get their picture taken when in Accra. If you are traveling down from Waa for a few days of flying in from Europe when in Accra you can not leave without at least getting a picture in Black Star Square.

The Square was built to celebrate the independence of Ghana so here you will find some very impressive structures which you probably would have seen on many tourist video’s of Ghana. 

In the square you will find

• Independence Arch
• Liberation Day Monument
• Black Star Gate  (which features the Black Star of Africa)
