Rivonia Square is the previous name of a shopping centre, including shops, the post office, a fitness centre and restaurants, along a thoroughfare called Rivonia Boulevard in Rivonia, Johannesburg. Late in 2012 the centre was renamed 'Oriental City'. It includes the area occupied by the first shopping centre built on the site – the Cloisters Shopping Centre. The Cloisters took its name from the Rivonia Convent, a closed order of Carmelite nuns, which originally existed on the site.
Famous quotes containing the word square:
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
