It's a square in the Italian-style street...

Located in the center of the Italian style area, it is quite crowded during the Chinese New Year. The transportation is also very convenient, not far from Jinwan Square and Jiefang Bridge.

Marco Polo Square: Ferrotti's ingenuity lies in naming the square after Marco Polo, a figure of historical connection between China and Italy. He named the central square of the concession "Marco Polo Square," a name that has survived to this day, while other streets with Western-sounding names have long been unceremoniously changed to our own. The Chinese will always be the masters of this land. The villas surrounding the square are mostly Italian-style corner pavilions, ranging from garden pavilions to square pavilions, with round and square columns, embellished with arches, flat arches, pointed arches, continuous arches, and vertical columns. These pavilions, staggered in height, create a beautiful architectural space, a rare surviving example of authentic Mediterranean architecture in Asia. During festivals, these pavilions are "oiled and lit" to recreate the splendor of ancient Roman temples.

You have to go at night. It looks better at night with the lights on. During the day, under the haze, it is just a pillar and a sculpture.

Piazza Marco Polo, located at the intersection of Avenida da Liberdade and Avenida da Nacional, isn't exactly the center of the tourist area. It's only one block to the south, but three blocks to the north. In the east-west direction, it and Piazza Dante each divide the entire tourist area into three blocks, so it's actually located slightly southwest. In the center of Piazza Marco Polo stands the Statue of Peace, built to commemorate the victory in World War I. It's the work of renowned Italian sculptor Giuseppe Boni. The statue, slightly slender, stands over ten meters tall, consisting of a circular fountain, a square base, a round stone column, and a statue of the goddess at the top. Each side of the base is inlaid with a European-style facial relief. The bronze statue of the goddess of peace, atop the column, holds a semicircular olive branch and has a pair of outstretched wings at her back, symbolizing the theme of "friendship and peace." The statue is dark green, evidently made of bronze. The lower column, base, and basin are constructed of gray granite. I'm told the original, erected in 1923, was destroyed in the 1950s.

The sign of Italian Style Street can be seen when you go to Style Street.

Marco Polo Square is located at the intersection of the former Marco Polo Road (now Minzu Road) and Dante Road (now Liberty Avenue). It consists of a sculpture of the Goddess of Peace and six typical southern Italian Mediterranean-style villas.

The Peace Statue, located in the center of the square, commemorates the victory of World War I. Construction began in 1923 and was designed by the renowned Italian sculptor Giuseppe Boni. The main sculpture comprises a fountain, a pedestal, a Roman column, and a 13.6-meter-tall statue of the Peace. Atop the column is a 2-meter-tall bronze statue of the Peace, clutching an olive branch and ready to fly, symbolizing friendship and peace. Each side of the base is surrounded by reliefs of human heads, each with a spout beneath it that sprays water in all directions.

The six villas surrounding the circular Piazza Marco Polo are divided into three groups, all constructed of brick and wood. The interiors of each group are largely identical, with the ground floor housing the living room and drawing room, and the second floor housing bedrooms and bathrooms. The main difference lies in the towers' flat-roofed pavilions, which feature various arches, including flat, round, and pointed.

Now it has been built into an Italian-style area by the Tianjin Municipal Government, becoming a comprehensive multifunctional area integrating tourism, commerce, leisure, entertainment and culture.

Located near the Italian Scenic Area, there are many tourists here. The nearby pancakes are also very delicious, 10 yuan each, and look relatively clean. They are also sold in the Ancient Culture Street, and seem to be 6 yuan. I don't feel this way.

The iconic building of Marco Polo Square is the statue in the picture below. The square is very prosperous and there are many taxis picking up and dropping off passengers here. The main reason is not because Marco Polo Square is more attractive. What is attractive is the Italian-style street next to Marco Polo Square. However, Marco Polo Square is also nice. On a sunny afternoon, you can sit on the steps of Marco Polo Square and chat with friends and bask in the sun. It is very comfortable.
