It is indeed a focal point for many different sorts of people to gather and relax. I am thinking the blue benches must be an attempt to add colour of water or sea in the the area. Unfortunately, it fails.

I suppose the raising of the square was quite a difficult engineering job, but that's how things are nowadays; everything will be done for the car traffic and parking, even if it is at the expense of weak pedestrians (mothers, kids, elderly), and DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-81981632791074219162016-03-18T21:23:40.507+02:002016-03-18T21:23:40.507+02:00I was a little confused as to how they raised it, ...I was a little confused as to how they raised it, but in looking at the photos I could see the street down below.
