Square · Heliopolis

Roxy Square

The square is named for the Roxy cinema, a mid-20th-century picture house that gave the whole junction its enduring name.

Though the original cinema is long gone, its name stuck to one of Heliopolis's busiest squares. Roxy is now a byword for the surrounding commercial district.
