The most beautiful and famous squares in the world
Book Description
City squares are one of the greatest legacies of the Western world, a source of historical information about cities that has passed through the centuries, material evidence of the secular, religious and cultural life of the population. Squares - a synonym for a public place for most of our ancestors and contemporaries - have been described since the Middle Ages, in other words, from the time when the word and the concept of "square" appeared, to the present day. Being an integral part of the entire turbulent history of Western civilization and the city as its symbol, the square is also considered as part of the overall urban structure, which it is part of, reflecting the evolution of the city and demonstrating, even today, in the era of globalization, its connection with social and economic changes in the life of cities and countries. The book describes 43 famous squares of the world, some of which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, illustrating the evolution of the square in four parts of the world - in Europe, America, Asia and Oceania.
