A town square is an open area commonly found in the heart of a traditional
town used for community gatherings. Other names for town square are
civic center, city square, urban square,
market square, public square,
plaza (from
Spanish),
piazza (from
Italian), and
place (from
French). Most town squares are
hardscapes suitable for open
markets,
music concerts, political rallies, and other events that require firm ground. Being centrally located, town squares are usually surrounded by small shops such as bakeries,
meat markets,
cheese stores, and
clothing stores. At their center is often a
fountain,
well,
monument, or
statue. Many of those with fountains are actually named
Fountain Square.
