Independence Hall, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the United States, is a historic landmark where the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776 and the U.S. Constitution was drafted in 1787. Constructed between 1732 and 1753, this Georgian-style brick building served as the meeting place for the Second Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention. Today, it stands as a symbol of American democracy and is preserved within a national historical park, offering visitors a glimpse into the nation’s founding moments. Its universal significance lies in its association with the birth of a government based on principles of liberty and self-governance.
