Landmark

Boston's oldest residential neighborhood, home to Paul Revere, the Old North Church, and a dense concentration of colonial-era history. Now known for Italian-American heritage.

What Happened Here

The tight streets of the North End have changed remarkably little in layout since the 18th century. Walking here offers a sense of the neighborhood Paul Revere knew.
