The Centenary Square is a premier attraction in the vibrant city of Birmingham that was established in 1989 to commemorate Birmingham's status as a city. Exuding an eclectic air of artistry, the Square is an artistic masterpiece that was designed by artist Tess Jaray. The paving, lamps, railings and buildings that form the Square reflect the grandeur nature of the site. There are several sculptures and buildings at the Square that are worth exploring, making it a popular tourist attraction in the city.

At the centre of the Centenary Square stands a majestic fountain titled the 'Spirit of Enterprise' which contains 3 heads that are meant to signify the important areas of enterprise, industry and commerce. Upon exploring the Square, visitors will undoubtedly catch sight of the gold gilded statue of James Watt, Mathew Boulton and William Murdoch. This statue due to its golden hue and unique posture is sometimes referred to as 'The Golden Boys' and 'The Carpet Salesmen' statue. Other important sculptures in the area include the 'Industry and Genius' statue of John Baskerville that stands just outside the historic Baskerville House in the Square.
