Murals Around the Square
Charleston's reputation as a city of murals is growing as
more and more visitors to our town learn of the project.
In 1998, local artists gathered their paintbrushes, climbed
onto a scaffold and began transforming dull walls of
downtown buildings into impressive works of art.
The "Murals Around the Square" are worth a walking tour.
The tour spans over a three block area and you will need no
more than 30 minutes to complete it.
