Eldon Square

Eldon Square is located in the Haymarket district, north of the old town. It was completely renovated in 2008 and now offers beautiful gardens, benches to eat and rest, and cafes. There is also a war memorial. Since the 20s, Eldon Square and Blackett Street have been the major axis of the city. In the 60s, all the neighborhood's beautiful buildings of stone were neglected, and in 1973, the north and west facades of Eldon's buildings were destroyed to build a large shopping center, which, when opened, was the largest in Europe.
