editThe square was established to mark the country's transition to democracy in 1990, featuring the monument of The Beatles which was erected in 2008. In August 2017, local residents staged protest to prevent demolition plan of the area, although the local government quickly rebuked the allegation saying the construction works were done to redevelop the area.[1]
