The 9/11 Memorial is a large urban area of Lower Manhattan that occupies 8 of the 16 acres of the former World Trade Center complex. The memorial was built to commemorate and honor the thousands of innocent victims among men, women and children who were killed by terrorists during the horrific attacks that hit the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.Its design was entrusted to the New York architect Michael Arad, who collaborated with the prestigious landscape architecture firm Peter Walker and Partners.The centerpiece of the 9/11 Memorial is represented by two huge, square-shaped, artificial pools, the Reflecting Pools, made from what were once the foundations of the Twin Towers, and around which more than 400 oak trees have been planted. The design of the memorial was studied in detail to convey to visitors a message of hope and renewal, keeping alive the memory of the Twin Towers that for years have been one of the most important symbols of the city of New York.

The square was designed according to a "suspended flooring system" in which the streets, the benches and the concrete tables alternate with a series of green spaces where more than 400 oak trees (the tree of life) grow to a real green roof. Most of the trees were selected within a 500 mile radius around the World Trade Center site, to which were added those from the other areas affected by the September 11, 2001 attacks in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The 9/11 Memorial staff guides visitors on a tour of the Memorial, allowing everyone to learn about the symbolism behind the design of this place, also explaining what was the historical significance of the World Trade Center for the Great Apple before 11 September 2001.

Another very important element of the memorial is the Survivor Tree, a Callery-type pear tree that was renamed in this way to survive the terrorist attacks.

The tree, which was discovered among the ruins of Ground Zero in October 2001, it was badly damaged (the roots were burned and its branches broken), but it was still entrusted to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The Survivor Tree was taken care of and recovered to be returned to its place of origin in 2010, becoming one of the symbols of the 9/11 Memorial which represents a visible line of demarcation between the past and the present.

Inside the 9/11 Memorial square there is also the Memorial Glade, a grassy clearing that finds its place inside the oak wood. This quiet space has been designed to host special meetings and ceremonies, and in particular, for the commemoration that takes place on 11 September every year, when all the names of the victims are read.

The main attraction of the 9/11 Memorial are the Reflecting Pools, the two huge reflecting pools (the largest in North America) that were built in the exact place where the Twin Towers stood, exploiting the imprint left by the foundations of the Twin towers. On the bronze panels surrounding the two pools are the names of all the people who were killed during the terrorist attacks that hit the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001, including the victims of Washington and Pennsylvania.

The design of the two fountains was designed to make the void left by the absence of the Twin Towers visible to visitors.

The 9/11 Memorial is located in the urban area of Lower Manhattan, at 180 Greenwich Street, at the New World Trade Center. The memorial can be reached very easily thanks to the futuristic World Trade Center Transportation Hub, a station designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava that develops under the 9/11 Memorial.

The 9/11 Memorial can be visited every day of the year from 7 am until 9 pm, with the exception of 11 September, when events commemorating the victims are organized, where it is possible to visit the memorial from 3 pm until midnight.

The best time of day to visit the memorial is in the evening, when the sun sets and the square begins to empty and is surrounded by an almost shocking silence.

No tickets are required to visit the 9/11 Memorial. In fact, for several years now it has been a place that is accessible for free. You pay the Tribute World Trade Center.

In addition to the memorial it is also possible to visit the 9/11 Museum.

The museum is located underground at the 9/11 Memorial site and the atmosphere is still very emotionally charged. Many things have been left intact as parts of the original twin towers and other objects such as the remains of an ambulance, broken telephone booths and fire brigade helmets and rescuers.

Almost 3000 people who lost their lives that day are remembered in this museum. The first thing visitors will notice are the two 24-meter steel pieces, known as 'tridents', which formed the basis of the World Trade Center. The fire, which lasted more than 99 days after the attacks, made them reddish / brown. Continuing from the Memorial Hall and going down into the basement (21 meters underground) you cross The Survivor Stairs. This is a concrete staircase that was used by hundreds of people on the run.

The 9/11 Museum shows how the attacks have influenced individuals and the whole world. Recognition is given to thousands of survivors and to all those who offered their help after September 11th.

There are two exhibitions in the 9/11 Museum that tell the story of 9/11 through videos, archives, photos and objects. The Historical Exhibition explains the story of 11 September 2001. This exhibition was built in chronological order starting from the morning of that day until the end of the day.

The Memorial Exhibition commemorates the victims of the attacks. There is a Wall of Faces where the pictures of all the victims are shown accompanied by some biographical notes. These archives were made by relatives of the victims.

TORONTO - The Sept. 11 museum opens to the public May 21, preceded by a ceremony Thursday that's to include President Barack Obama, families and other officials.
WATCH: First look inside the National September 11th Memorial Museum
The exhibits tell the stories of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 2001 attacks and the 1993 trade center bombing, as well as of survivors and first responders. Museum Director Alice Greenwald said the museum is "about understanding our shared humanity," while former mayor Michael Bloomberg called it a reminder "that freedom is not free."

The museum's artifacts range from the monumental, like two of the huge fork-shaped columns from the World Trade Center's facade, to the intimate: a wedding ring, a victim's voice mail message.

Some early visitors have already criticized the merchandise on sale in the museum's gift shop which includes items for sale like a black twin towers hoodie emblazoned with the words, "In darkness we shine brightest," a silk scarf printed with a full-colour twin towers design and a search & rescue dog toy.

The museum also includes a repository that contains unidentified remains from the disaster.

"But he's here. I know he's here," said Monica Iken, a museum board member who never received her husband's body, after leaving the repository.

The museum occupies 110,000 square feet on the 16-acre trade center site, tracing the foundations of the twin towers 70 feet underground.

The plaza and museum together cost $700 million to build, subsidized with $390 million in tax-funded grants; officials hope the $24 museum entrance fee - expected to generate about $40 million a year - will help cover operating costs, expected to be about $60 million a year. Fundraising will cover the rest, for now.
