The locale, or spot, spoken of (4)
I believe the answer is:
site
'the locale' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'spot spoken of' is the wordplay.
'spot' becomes 'sight' (I've seen this before).
'spoken of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'sight' is a homophone of 'SITE'.
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Where something is located" , "Location; locate" , "station" , "Designated place" , "Locate, position" .)
