Millennium Square is a new square in Sheffield, England, created as part of the Heart of the City project. It lies in front and to the south of the Winter Gardens, and complements the Peace Gardens and the neo-Gothic Town Hall. It contains fountains in the shape of steel spheres, recalling Sheffield's past as a centre of the steel making industry, whilst linking with the fountains of the Peace Gardens, as well as Sheaf Square, Hallam Square and Barkers Pool.
