Tiago, I agree with you. If we are talking about something that is inside the area of the Square, then it is "in". To me, "on" means the store is on a street that forms the square and "at" is more vague than either "in" or "on". I don't think that choosing one or the other would create any confusion of meaning. There is a bicycle shop at the Square. (I doubt that the store is inside the perimeter of the Square, so it must be on a street facing the Square.) I met a Canadian at the Square. (Maybe I met him in the Square, and maybe I met him on a street facing it.) |
