It's an ok site, one can just pop by the area to take photos for the gram. Not much info is posted about Samora Machel on the actual site so if you don't know him, you'll just think it's a statue.

Normal place, the government could make a better effort to highlight such an important moment. The Praça is not easy to access, as it is located in the middle of the road, as the Praça serves as a roundabout, so be wary of the cars as they drive in the opposite directions of the rest of the world.

Culturally rich ,vibrant space in the busy vibrant city center with lots of historical buildings , beautiful architecture, museums art centers and other tourist attractions ! Definitely worth seeing and exploring if you are visiting Maputo

Nice view and historical place

Renamed in 1975 after Mozambique won its independence from the Portuguese, the square is dominated by a large statue of the country’s first president, Samora Machel, who died in a mysterious plane crash. On the north side of the square, look for the neoclassical city hall. To its east, the Art Deco Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, which resembles a wedding cake and was consecrated in 1944, is impossible to miss. Nearby, the French-Mozambican Cultural Center hosts everything from jazz performances to art exhibitions, and the Tunduru Botanical Gardens, a few blocks away, are worth visiting for some shade from the African sun

Very big place and could easily reach many historical sites along the street the president status facing. Walking distance from cruise ship terminal.

Great to see, a bright point made. Go independence 👆

Not much to see, but given the location and historical significance, certainly worth a visit.
