Abstract
Public spaces have been created since ancient times to provide an area for people to gather to trade goods, exchange ideas, or just stop by to see and be seen. The medieval public space was in the form of a central marketplace in a city or a village, usually in an irregular and closed format so that people could access it from many sides. Great examples for vivid medieval public spaces are the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy, or the many narrow alleys in London.
