The Republic Square

Jumhooree Maidhaan, also known as Independence Square and Republic Square, is an unforgettable sight, especially for visitors who arrive to Male via the sea. Lined with palm trees, this verdant square offers views of the jetty and the deep blue waters beyond. One of the largest Maldivian flags in the country can also be seen at the center of the square. Usually bustling with locals, tourists, and even beautiful flocks of doves, Jumhooree Maidhaan is a must-visit, especially on clear days.
