Liberty Square Arch

Unclaimed

The Liberty Square Arch (自由廣場牌樓) is a breathtaking architectural marvel and a proud symbol of Taiwan’s cultural and democratic identity. Serving as the grand entrance to Liberty Square, this magnificent archway is one of Taipei’s most photographed landmarks—and for good reason. Standing tall at 30 meters, the arch features five beautifully proportioned gates, with the central one symbolizing openness and freedom. The intricate carvings, traditional Chinese motifs, and vibrant blue tile roof showcase exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The inscription “自由廣場” (Freedom Square) boldly proclaims the nation’s commitment to liberty and democracy, making it a powerful sight for visitors and locals alike.

The Liberty Square Archway is located in the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall area in Taipei City and is an important historical and cultural landmark in Taiwan. This archway is 30 meters high and 80 meters wide. It adopts the traditional Chinese architectural specifications of "five rooms, six pillars and eleven floors", symbolizing the highest level of archway form. The original title was "Great Centrality and Righteousness", and it was renamed "Freedom Square" in December 2007, symbolizing Taiwan's democratization process and pursuit of freedom. Its blue and white color scheme and magnificent structure have made it a popular spot for tourists to take photos and check in, and it is also an important venue for various cultural activities and social movements.    

This is a beautiful area, and the arches are much larger and more impressive in person than they appear in photos. The space is connected to the memorial by a lovely courtyard and well-maintained garden, creating a peaceful and scenic atmosphere."

It's beautiful and so good to be going on a rainy day with fewer people, but no change of guard shows when it rains!

Epic square. Plenty of exhibitions inside and surrounded by ponds and parks. Sometimes you can catch demonstrations in the square. Vast area and definitely worth the visit.
