place


Explanation:
Could be any open space, like a marketplace, a front- or backyard, or a location. If it stands alone in a photo caption, it provably suggests something is spacious, as in lots of space.

neutral  lingo_montreal: If you're talking about a pedestrian area, marketplace, or other large common place, then "square" would be commonly used.

square


Explanation:
Per could well be right. It all depends on WHAT is shown in the photo. If you're talking about, e.g., Torgalmenning in Bergen or a major common (public) area, then I would call it a square.
