Sam
Sharpe
Square
is
located
in
the
heart
of
the
second
city,
Montego
bay
city.
Its
the
heart
of
the
busy
city
and
the
only
part
of
montego
bay
that
never
sleeps;
with
the
exception
of
the
recent
pandemic.
But
now
that
we
no
longer
have
a
curfew
the
city
has
regained
its
wonderous
glory.
You
can
find
the
civic
center
the
beautiful
fountain
and
busy
pedestrians
hustling
about
their
daily
lifes.
In
the
heart
of
the
square
you
will
see
the
momentum
of
our
late
national
hero
Sir
Samuel
Sharpe
along
with
four
other
statues
and
a
board
explaining
his
impact
on
our
history.
You
will
find
several
businesses
in
the
square
with
the
top
one's
being
scotia
bank,
burger
king,
popeyes,
pharmacy,
civic
center,
museum
along
with
supermarkets
local
clothes
stores
and
street
side
venders.It
was
originally
named
Charles
Square,
but
was
later
renamed
in
honor
of
Sam
Sharpe,
a
Jamaican
National
hero,
and
anti-slavery
activist.
The
main
attraction
to
the
area
is
the
monument,
commemorating
the
struggles
faced
by
Sam
Sharpe.
Despite
the
busy
town
in
the
evening
you
can
find
hundreds
of
Jamaicans
standing
in
the
square
in
small
groups
or
alone
making
small
talk
or
just
chilling
or
relaxing
to
pass
the
time
and
it
has
seen
an
increase
with
the
new
free
internet
