Liwasang Bonifacio

The Liwasang Bonifacio (English: Bonifacio Square), formerly known as Plaza Lawton, is a city square and transport hub in front of the Manila Central Post Office in the Ermita district of Manila, Philippines. It is located at the southern end of Jones Bridge, MacArthur Bridge, and Quezon Bridge, which connect the northern districts of Binondo, Santa Cruz, and Quiapo to Ermita. The plaza straddles the boundary between Ermita and Intramuros and marks the eastern terminus of Padre Burgos Avenue, which continues toward Taft Avenue and Roxas Boulevard at Rizal Park. Historically known as Plaza del Fortín, the plaza was given its current name in 1963 after the revolutionary leader Andrés Bonifacio, founder of the Katipunan independence movement during Spanish colonial rule. A monument in his honor stands at the center of the plaza. The plaza is a popular site for protests and demonstrations organized by several leftist groups. It is one of four designated freedom parks in the City of Manila, where protests and rallies may be held without requiring permission from local authorities.
