Historic Squares

Savannah’s historic district is defined by the Oglethorpe Plan, a unique 18th-century urban design featuring a grid of interconnected public squares. These green spaces serve as community hubs, showcasing diverse monuments, live oak canopies draped in Spanish moss, and significant architecture. From the modern social center of Ellis Square to the quiet, residential atmosphere of Chatham Square, each site preserves a distinct chapter of the city's colonial and antebellum history.
