Much of the square's area is devoted to a major thoroughfare.
^Some have mistakenly objected to applying the English expression "triple cross" to this Warsaw square, claiming that "triple cross" is specifically a synonym for the "Papal Cross", a staff with three horizontal bars near the top. In reality, "triple cross" simply means "three crosses", as illustrated in the following advertisement for a "triple cross square money clip": [1]. Similarly, the term "Triple Crown" is often used to describe the winning of the three most important events in a given field; originating in mid-19th century England in the sport of horse racing, it has since spread to other competitive endeavors.
