Quincy Market has always been a trading place for food and drinks - and is still today. The area around it is a showplace of all kinds of artists, and a meeting place for old and young.
10-PresbetarianStone * The protestant people didn't use crucifixen, angels or whatever they thought haiden (Cathotlic) decoration but kept it simple: The skull as a reminder of the decay of the body, and the wings as the reminder of the eternity of the soul. * 1984 x 1488 * (351KB)

11-BostonMasacreVictims * This monument was erected to commemorate the victims of a unlucky event near the old city hall, that became known as the Boston Masacre - a sheer exxagaration and twisting of facts: propaganda in its most elementary form. The same can be said about the young boy that was shot - whether on purpose of by accident is faded in the proagandal use of the fact.... * 1488 x 1984 * (379KB)

12-OldCityHall * The Old City Hall where the Boston Masacre was said to have taken place.

13-Guide * Our guide - used to be a history teacher. And she had a tremendous way of explaining and telling. * 1488 x 1984 * (274KB)

14-FanaellHall * Farneall Hall. In the old days, it was just two stories: the lower one was a mall, the upper floor was used for public meetings, often on politics, until too many people attended The third floor and tower were added in the 19th century. * 1488 x 1984 * (404KB)
