About
Quick facts: The place features a perfect circular design, surrounded by 30 Georgian houses that form a square. A triple horseshoe design was used that revolutionized urban planning of its time.
Highlights: The facade presents a unique combination of Corinthian and Ionic columns with astronomical symbols that allude to Freemasonry. In the center of the square, a large green area invites you to sit and admire the impeccable architecture without visual interruptions.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes to walk on the old stone sidewalks.
- Look for perspectives from the central part for perfect symmetrical photos.
- Avoid midday rush hours for less noise and crowds.
- Check the forecast, a cloudy morning can better reveal the textures in the architecture.
