The Luxembourg Gardens of Paris is one of my most cherished places in the world, but it is NOT a square; it is a large park.
I nominate Place des Vosges.
#2 Madison Square Park in Manhattan
#3 The litte square behind the Lincoln Plaza Cinema on the UWS of Manhattan

How is Madison Square not a square when it is called "Madison Square"?
You are daft.
Why is Union Square a town square? Because it has a green market?????????
We are are on pins and needles awaiting your erudite reply.

Well, there's nothing wrong with being erudite. I would that more were.
I was happy to see my beloved Rittenhouse Square on this list; I also really enjoyed Rynek Glowny and, of course, Red Square is magnificently beautiful. I don't know how I could ever choose one square, though; they are so different from each other.

Cousin Muffy's Uncle Tony and my great-grandfather both lived on Rittenhouse Square.
I had sex with a stranger on a bench in Rittenhouse Square when I was 17.
My friend, Brian, made me do it. It was gross.

Ah, Thin, your Philadelphia and mine...Rittenhouse doesn't hold those kinds of associations for me, in either case: more happy flower child type. (Perhaps it's good that I didn't know your friend Brian.) Oh, and very best wishes to Cousin Muffy for strength and happiness.
Gardyloo, I still can't link but would love to see Isfahan!
