The Plaza is an historic center surrounded by many important buildings. Locals were gathered for socializing and to shop the vendors in the side streets.

This square is really overcrowded. The degree of crowding is comparable to the feeling of a commercial street in our city. Maybe this city does not have many places for people to relax, just one square.
I don't have much impression of this square, because there are no tall buildings around it that make me a memory point. In my impression, I just think this place is very happy and lively. I also encountered some performances that day.
Independence Square is the most important square in this country. It has very important political symbolic significance. It symbolizes the country's own independence, so this square is also quite historical. pretty good.
The most important square in this country, but it may not look as magnificent and spectacular as the big square in the city we imagined. It feels more like a central square in a small city.
