A town square is an open public space[1] commonly found in the heart of a traditional town used for community gatherings.

Piazza is commonly found at the meeting of two or more streets. Most Italian cities have several piazzas with streets radiating from the center.

The symmetrical buildings around the square hold government bureaus and ministries.

Example sentence(s):
  • However, instead of the row village, we find the nucleated type whereby the buildings are arranged, somewhat loosely, around a central square, the village greens, upon which the parish church and other public buildings are located
