In the heart of Portland, Maine, Monument Square marks a crossroads between old and new. Once called Market Square, it has long been a central point in the city. Today, office buildings, cafés, and the main library line its edges. At the center stands a statue commemorating Portland’s Civil War dead. With its mix of history and daily activity, the square remains a familiar place where locals meet, pass through, or simply pause for a moment.
