Phra Sumen Fort
Phra Sumen Fort is a whitewashed, many-sided remnant of Bangkok’s early defensive system, set beside the river and canal. Its compact brick mass makes the city’s former boundary tangible: this was one piece of a planned ring of walls and forts around the new capital.
Piazza Barberini
Piazza Barberini is shaped by the Baroque energy of Bernini’s Triton Fountain and the nearby Barberini Palace. Its present urban form grew from an older landscape of gardens into a major junction of modern Rome.
Piazza del Campidoglio
Piazza del Campidoglio is a carefully composed civic room on Rome’s Capitoline Hill. Michelangelo designed its buildings and central space as a unified ensemble, using a broad approach and balanced façades to turn an ancient hilltop into a Renaissance image of civic authority.
Piazza del Duomo
Piazza del Duomo gathers Milan’s cathedral, civic buildings, and pedestrian life into a broad central space. Its present form developed over time as the city opened and reshaped the area around its most prominent religious landmark.
Piazza della Repubblica

Piazza Mercanti
Piazza Mercanti preserves a compact medieval civic center close to Milan’s cathedral. Its loggias, palace, and narrow passages once organized municipal government, justice, and trade, making the square a reminder that commerce and public authority shared the same urban space.
Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona’s long oval outline follows the footprint of an ancient stadium beneath the Baroque square. Three fountains, palaces, and a church occupy a space whose shape still carries the memory of athletic contests held nearly two millennia ago.
Piazza San Babila
Piazza San Babila is a modern Milan crossroads layered over Roman routes and burial ground. Its twentieth-century enlargement transformed the surrounding streetscape, while the nearby basilica preserves a much older religious history.
Piazza Trilussa
Piazza Trilussa faces Ponte Sisto with a monumental fountain that arrived here only after being dismantled and partly lost. Its steps and alignment make it a gathering place as well as a reminder of how Rome’s riverbanks were rebuilt.
Piazza Venezia
Piazza Venezia takes its name from the Renaissance palace beside it, while the square’s present shape was formed by demolitions and construction for the Vittoriano. It is a crossroads where several layers of Rome’s political history meet.
