Christian Science Plaza reflecting pool viewpoint

The long reflecting pool and colonnade on the Christian Science Plaza create an inward-facing, axial vantage that frames reflections of the Prudential Tower and the Back Bay skyline. The plaza’s broad, formal sightlines encourage contemplative viewing of the city’s architecture from the plaza’s walkways and steps rather than from street level. The plaza and pool are public spaces surrounding The Mother Church and are commonly used as photo and observation points.
