Civic square (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plaza

(Other definitions for plaza that I've seen before include "Public square, as in Spanish town" , "Public square for pedestrians" , "Open urban square or public area" , "The ____ Mayor is important in Madrid" , "Shopping mall" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
