Trafalgar Square is a square in central London which commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, a victory for the British Navy in the Napoleonic Wars. From the time of Edward I the area was used as the royal stables. Around 1820 the Prince Regent commissioned the architect John Nash to restore the area. Nash had the area cleared as part of the improvement of the Charing Cross area. The current appearance of the square dates from around 1845 and is the work of architect Charles Barry.

St Peter's Square is the main square of the Vatican, situated in front of St Peter's Basilica. It is one of the most beautiful public spaces in the world. It was given its present monumental form under Pope Alexander VII (1655-1667). The square consists of two spaces, a larger elliptical one and a smaller trapezoidal one. On the upper ledge of the colonnade are statues of saints, seventy on each side. The ideological staple of the sculptural decoration is the statue of Christ the Saviour above the centre of the façade of St Peter's Basilica. Next to the obelisk are fountains by Carlo Maderno in the square.

Red Square is the main square in Moscow. It is considered the centre of the city and of all Russia. In 1991, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The square separates the Kremlin - formerly the seat of princes and tsars, now the Russian president - from the old business district called Kitaj-gorod. All major radial streets in the city radiate from Red Square.

Tiananmen Square is a large square in the centre of Beijing, China, in the Tongcheng district, named after the Tiananmen Gate, which is on the north side of the square and separates it from the Forbidden City. The square is of great cultural and historical value as it has been the site of several important events. Outside China, the square is best known for the 1989 student protests. Tiananmen is the heart of Beijing and China.
