Square Pétrarque, Garden square in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France

Square Pétrarque extends 82 meters in length and 5.5 meters in width, featuring trees and seating arrangements throughout its linear layout.

The square received its official designation in 1927, during a period when Paris was developing more communal gardens within residential neighborhoods.

The name of this square honors the Italian poet Petrarch, reflecting the strong literary connections between France and Renaissance Italy.
