The heart of Charleston is Marion Square. The Old Citadel (now an Embassy Suites hotel) anchors one side, two of the tallest church steeples oppose each other on the Meeting and King Street sides, and John C. Calhoun — high above it all (with his back to the people in the square), anchors the fourth side. It’s home to Charleston’s amazing Farmers Market and is “the beach” to many of the students at the College of Charleston (in warmer weather).
