Putra Square

The Putra Square (Malay: Dataran Putra) is a city square in Presint 1, Putrajaya, Malaysia. The square has been used for festivals such as the Malaysian Independence Day parade. The 300 meter circular Putra Square is bounded by Perdana Putra, Putra Mosque, Putra Bridge and the Promenade Shopping Mall.

In a tall flagpole in the square is the National flag of Malaysia surrounded by flags of each of its States. Occasionally in events when foreign head of states' visits occur, the flags of each of its States are replaced with the national flags of Malaysia and the country of the head of state.

From the square, there are fine views of Perdana Putra, the Prime Minister's Office Building (to the north) and the Putra Mosque (to the east).
