Washington Park Square, NYC
Washington Park Square, NYC

(PRWEB UK) 22 April 2014 -- With a few notable exceptions – Times Square in New York, Moscow’s Red Square and Leicester Square in London spring to mind – the world’s many beautiful public squares and plazas rarely seem to gain the appreciation they deserve. According to a list of ‘Top 15 Beautiful & Lesser Known Squares Around The World’ recently published by leading holiday rentals specialist AlphaHolidayLettings.com, many of the most adored public piazzas are located at off-the-beaten-track destinations.

According to an article recently recently published by leading holiday rentals specialist AlphaHolidayLettings.com, many of the most adored public piazzas are located at off-the-beaten-track destinations.

Take the sublime Plaça Reial (Royal Plaza) in Barcelona, for example. This popular and cosmopolitan urban oasis, dotted with mature palm trees, is situated off the city’s famous La Rambla and was built in the nineteenth century. The historic arcaded buildings which surround the square house many inviting restaurants, tapas bars and cafes which provide a perfect setting in which to take a break from the bustle of the city or enjoy an atmospheric and romantic evening meal.

Manhattan’s Washington Square Park provides one of New York’s most beautiful public spaces. The square itself is dominated by a magnificent and iconic arch, constructed from marble and reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Built in 1892 the arch celebrates George Washington’s inauguration as the American President. Washington Square is surrounded by a delightful park beloved of street entertainers, dog walkers and old-timers playing chess. Located at the southern end of Fifth Avenue, Washington Square Park is an idyllic spot to relax awhile in the city that never sleeps.

Italy, of course, is renowned for its wealth of stunning and historic architecture and boasts an abundance of beautiful piazzas. One of the oldest and most impressive is the remarkably-preserved Piazza Grande in the city of Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy. Surrounding this sloped red-brick and limestone-paved square – once the city’s marketplace - which dates from medieval times is an awe inspiring collection of historic buildings including the sixth-century Town Hall, the Church of Santa Maria della Pieve and the Episcopal Palace both dating from the thirteenth century, and the Gothic-styled Palace of the Lay Fraternity built in the fourteenth-century.

Exploring these and any of the world’s other beautiful public squares and open spaces is not only enjoyable and rewarding but also affordable thanks to the vast range of superb holiday rental properties available via Alpha Holiday Lettings. With something to suit every holidaymaker’s taste and budget, here is a sample of just some of the fabulous holiday homes available to rent:
