THE INSPIRATION OF ROYAL SQUARES


LIKE THEM, IT IS SET APART...

*For the 17th-century model, please click.

Its architecture is homogeneous and straight lines converge toward the center...  



And a royal equestrian statue (or a politically potent monument

coincidence.

looked back to the squares of the past 
to address the future.
