The square with the presidential palace.

The Onafhankelijkheidsplein (Dutch pronunciation: [ɔnɑfˈɦɑŋkələkɦɛitsplɛin], Independence Square) is a town square in Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname. The square is situated in the historical inner city, near the Suriname River and the presidential palace.
