The area resembles an immense chessboard: it is almost entirely paved with dark and light stone slabs and is a huge pedestrian zone. Unusual are seven ten-meter metal poles topped with plastic figures of seated men. In the evenings they glow in different colors. They symbolize the seven continents of the Earth. In the evening, the square looks spectacular and more beautiful with illumination. There are a lot of people and vehicles during the day. In the southern part of the square there is a beautiful Sun fountain with a seven-meter statue of Apollo.→
