Independence Hall is the brick building on Chestnut Street where the Second Continental Congress met and where the Declaration of Independence was adopted in July 1776, which is why it is often called the birthplace of the nation. Built in the 1730s as the Pennsylvania State House, it was the seat of colonial government before it became the setting for the events that gave it its modern name. The steeple, the tall tower rising above the central block, has been rebuilt more than once over the centuries, and the bell that hangs there is the one now known as the Liberty Bell. Visitors today can still see the restored Assembly Room where the delegates debated.
