This intimate space overlooking the Forum is one of the world's premier public squares.
This is a relatively small public square, for pedestrians only, on an ancient spot. It's the only square on the world where all the surrounding buldings are designed by one person: Michelangelo.
Not to many people are using it, as it is secluded, up on top of a steep hill. This gives it a pleasant atmosphere, ideal for contemplation!
The best.
This is a public gathering place and provides access to couple of art museums.
It is an extremly human space, designed having in mind human (pedestrian) proportions.
This is by far the best existing public square today. My passion is the many thousand public spaces that I have visited in over 150 countries in my life, from all over the world.
