This may technically be a square; I do not know if the street runs far enough behind the camera to qualify as a boulevard. In most other respects, it is fairly standard, although the archway through which the roadway passes is a somewhat unusual constriction. It appears that the land once sloped away to the left. While most of the area was filled to make it level, there is a drop-off at the left-hand side, which breaks the integration of the buildings on that side with the street. The extremely broad sidewalk and trees help to mute this effect, but it cannot entirely be disguised. What a rich building occupies the right-hand side of the photograph!
