"Prato della Valle (Prà deła Vałe in Venetian) is a 90,000 square meter elliptical square in Padova, Italy."
The streets that border the piazza (i.e. square) and the buildings that line those streets do not form an ellipse, so the piazza itself is not elliptical at all. The park that fills the center of the piazza (with its canal, island, and outer ring) is indeed elliptical, but the piazza is actually an irregular quadrilateral or irregular trapezium, as can be seen by looking at aerial photographs or maps.
