Town square (Plaza)

A town square, or plaza, is an open public space found in the center of a town or city. It serves as a gathering place for community events, markets, festivals, and social interactions. Town squares often feature benches, trees, fountains, and sometimes monuments or statues. They play a crucial role in urban planning, fostering a sense of community and providing a venue for civic activities. Historically, plazas have been important in many cultures, acting as the heart of social life, commerce, and culture in both historical and modern settings.
