Really strange place, small square that is surrounded by fence. Not allowed to go inside, not allowed to take pictures. What is the purpose of this "tourist attraction"?

Not a very impressive site. More efforts should be put on building whatever structure best suit La Place de l'indépendance.

It's in the middle of Bujumbura and a beautiful place that speaks of the history of the country, however no pictures are allowed...(this review is in response to my timeline and Google provision of a photo taken before my visit.)

Nice place to chill at in downtown. Nice place for a photograph. Cool air and shade for all its visitors
