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.
