Kim Il-sung Square
Kim Il-sung Square is a large city square in the center of Pyongyang, DPRK (North Korea), and is named after the country's founding leader, Kim Il-sung. Opened in August 1954,〔Martin (2006), p. 774〕 the square is located on the west bank of the Taedong River, directly opposite the Juche Tower on the other side of the river. It is the 37th largest square in the world, having an area of about 75,000 square meters (807,293 square feet) which can accommodate a rally of more than 100,000 people.〔(Pyongyang Images ), New Korea Tours〕〔Kwan, Lee Kyo.

==Overview==
The Kim Il-sung Square is located at the center of Pyongyang on the west bank of the Taedong River. It is similar in form and design to the Tiananmen Square in Beijing and is used for the same purposes. The Kim Il-sung Square is architecturally more refined with its dramatic riverside setting. If one stands in the square, the Tower of the Juche Idea on the opposite bank appears to sit at the other end of the square, although it is actually across the river. The optical effect is achieved since the square is a few meters lower in the middle than near the waterside. Surrounding the square are a number of government buildings, with the Great People's Study House sitting at the "head" of the square.
Portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-Il are displayed on buildings surrounding the square where portraits of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin once hung.
