Russell Square in Perth, Western Australia is a large public space between Aberdeen Street, and James Street in Northbridge. It was named after Lord John Russell. The eastern boundary is on Parker Street, which is the location of the Saints Constantine and Helene Greek Orthodox Cathedral, and the Hellenic Community Centre. Shenton Street is the western boundary of the square. Russell Square was created some time between 1838 and 1845; it appears on 1845 maps of Perth, but not on 1838 maps. It has been also known as ''Parco dei Sospire'' ("The Park of Sighs") as it was the favoured meeting place of the Italian community of "Little Italy".〔http://www.cityofperth.wa.gov.au/web/visiting/attractions/parks-and-gardens/〕 In the early 1990s it was reviewed in planning studies. In October 1994 Russell Square was upgraded, and thirty sculptures were designed and created by local artists Greg James〔http://www.gregjamessculpture.com/public.htm〕 and Drago Dadich. It has been a venue for the Festival of Perth.〔http://www.perthfestival.com.au/What%27s-On/Eat-Drink-Go/Venues/Russell-Square〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russell Square, Perth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
