My last city had a large park which was a left over from the 1974 World's Fair. I suppose it would be the town square since downtown did not have one.
Riverfront park:

We don't really have a main square. Technically Dublin is my city, though its very much a love hate relationship. I am a country person. The first three are St. Stephens Green, the second is O' Connell Street and the third is the front of Trinity College, based in the heart of the city and also where myself and Dophin go to college.     ------------- |

An old medieval city with old half timebered houses, old churches, narrow streets and squares.
You can even enter some of the buildings - like the Town Hall in the picture.
Click the picture to take the tour - we start at the Town Hall in the center of the city.

Edinburgh is beautiful but doesn't the royal mile count as the main center?

Most definitely not. It's nothing more than a tourist trap from the Castle down to St Giles. From there down to Holyrood it's mainly small museums, pubs and sandwich shops. The "main centre" is a bit hard to define but it includes a lot more than than the royal mile. ------------- For money you did what guns could not do......... |

I hate the term of "my city(Turkish memleket)" because it is difficult to say for me which is my city. Domestic migration is very common in Turkey. More than 1/7% people live in İstanbul but many of them have got different city origin. ------------- Ellerin Kabe'si var, Benim Kabem İnsandır |

In my perspective, the term of "my city" is different than the city where I am living in. It is about Turkey local dynamics. My is very strong word the city where I am living in, İstanbul main square: Taksim historical main square: Sultanahmet   The city where I was born, Balıkesir  ------------- Ellerin Kabe'si var, Benim Kabem İnsandır |

Bucharest has not a "main square". There are three squares that are almost equal in importance:
University Square 
Revolution Square 
Constitution Square  -------------  |

This is Victoria Square in front of the magnificent 1873 town hall in my native town of Bolton. For those who don't know, Bolton is near Manchester and is one of Britain's largest towns (it's slightly larger than the Republic of Ireland's second city, Cork) and its football team, Bolton Wanderers, has been in English football's top division more times than any other team that has never won it (73 times, to be precise). So Bolton Wanderers are the worst of the rest. This is a fairly old photo, though. Those fountains were taken away in the 1990s, but in hot weather the kids, including me, used to play in them.  ------------- |
