open square
Town's gathering space
An open square is a public plaza or urban space that lacks enclosing walls or barriers, accessible from multiple directions.
The term distinguishes such spaces from enclosed courtyards or private squares: The market was held in the open square at the center of town.
In mathematics and typography, an open square is an unfilled square symbol (□), often used as a bullet point or checkbox.
