Day 3: Rittenhouse Square

When William Penn planned the city of Philadelphia in the late 1600's, he included five public squares which would be havens of nature and beauty for the city's citizens. City Hall now stands on one of these squares, but the others are still lush and green as Penn planned them. One of these is Rittenhouse Square:



As you can see from the photo below, it is a very popular place in the summer time. People go there to meet friends, read, eat lunch, and even sun bathe:



Just beyond Rittenhouse Square is the lovely Church of the Trinity:

As you can imagine, Rittenhouse Square is THE address and contains some of the most expensive real estate in Philadelphia. So I'll never live there but, happily, it's free to visit!
