The most significant sign of the cultural importance of the Daley Plaza in Chicago, IL is the 50-foot cor ten steel sculpture made by the great Pablo Picasso and gifted to the city. The statue has no formal name and it simply called 'The Picasso'.

'The Picasso' has grown in stature to become one of the most important landmarks of Chicago. Another prominent feature of the Daley Plaza is the in-ground fountain and also an eternal flame burning in memory of the dead from the World Wars, the Vietnam War and the Korean War.

The plaza is also well-known in film culture. It was used in famous movies such as:

- The Blues Brothers (1980)

- The Fugitive (1993)

- The Dark Knight (2008)

Events such as weekly farmers' markets, regular ethnic festivals and Chicago's Critical Mass ride held here underline the cultural significance of the Daley Plaza.
