Discover more about Paul Revere Statue

Paul Revere Mall, often called the Prado, provides a tranquil escape in Boston's lively North End. Created in 1933 by Arthur Shurcliff, the mall replaced tenement housing to create a direct sightline between the Old North Church and St. Stephen's Church. Inspired by the Paseo del Prado in Havana, Cuba, the mall features a red brick walkway, shade trees, and granite benches, offering a rare shaded area in the North End. The mall's centerpiece is an equestrian statue of Paul Revere sculpted by Cyrus Edwin Dallin, installed in 1940. The statue portrays Revere on his famous midnight ride. Along the mall's brick walls, you'll find 13 plaques commemorating notable Boston residents and historical events. A circular granite fountain adds to the mall's charm. Once the pasture of Christopher Stanley in 1646, the land was later dedicated to public enjoyment and to honor the North End's contributions to Boston. Today, it's a popular spot for locals and tourists, offering a place to relax, reflect, and enjoy the neighborhood's rich history.
