Informazioni sul luogo

The memorial marks the former footprint of the towers with twin reflecting pools set in an open public plaza.

The street-level plaza centers on twin recessed pools set directly into the footprints of the fallen towers. Waterfalls descend into the voids, framed by bronze parapets that carry the names of attack victims arranged according to personal and professional ties. Swamp white oak trees surround the basins in groves and clearings, creating a quiet canopy above the subterranean museum galleries.

The museum structure sits beneath the plaza pavement, preserving remnants of the complex foundation walls alongside recovered structural artifacts. A non-profit foundation oversees the grounds and exhibition halls, coordinating security perimeters that blend directly into Lower Manhattan subway exits. For daily commuters and extended residents, the open park functions as an everyday walking corridor that maintains strict quiet standards.

NEW YORK

After a month, it was time for my first travels. My most desired city was NYC. That was exactly where I dreamed of celebrating my birthday. Round-trip bus tickets from Peter Pan cost $140. New York made an incredible impression on me. It is a city that charms you from the very first minutes. It mesmerizes with the scale of its buildings and structures, amazes with its frantic rhythm, the incredible flow of people, and the contrast expressed in the combination of luxury life with marginalized people sleeping on the streets and piles of trash. New York is a real concrete jungle. Central Park is probably one of the few places with greenery and trees. Overall, I was delighted with the city. Must-visit places in NYC (with addresses): *TIP FOR FUTURE PARTICIPANTS: to make it easier to navigate in unfamiliar places, download offline maps) Excursion “Panoramic view from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building” - $41 (20 W 34th St, New York) One-hour ferry tour to the Statue of Liberty - $30.
