Summary of Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square was built following the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The man responsible for this famous naval victory, which finally destroyed French naval power and secured Britain from invasion, was Admiral Horatio Nelson. A column, with an 18ft statue of Nelson at the summit, is the centrepiece to the Square. At the base of the column are the renowned Landseer lions. The National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery border one side of the Square, and its a good place to sit and soak up the atmosphere on a sunny day. The Square is also famous for the large number of pigeons that congregate there. Its one of the main places that overseas visitors come to in order to be photographed.
