Within the City of Boston, city limits are particularly interesting, even though the inner city may not necessarily be the most densely populated in the greater metropolitan area. Although nearby Cambridge and Somerville are at higher population densities than the core city, Boston contains notable landmarks and historical sites as well as modern sites, with the aggregate combination of influences resulting in the modern vibrancy of Boston that continues far beyond the inner city limits in virtually every direction. Such notable sites in the City include Fenway Park, home to the MLB’s Boston Red Sox; Faneuil Hall, notable for historical discussions of American liberty and independence; the Old South Meeting House, largely associated with the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773; the modern Italian District of the North End; and numerous historical statues, landmarks, and figurines throughout the City.
