Trafalgar Square.

06.jpg

In 1805 England defeated the allied French and Spanish fleets in a great naval battle at Trafalgar;
this was a triumphant victory of the British nation over Napoleon. To commemorate the victory of Admiral Lord Nelson at Trafalgar, Trafalgar Square was constructed. The Nelson Column was erected in 1842 in commemoration of Admiral Nelson, who was killed in this battle.

The statue of Nelson on the top of the column was made by a well-known English sculptor Edward Bailey. Round the base there are four bronze carvings representing scenes from famous naval battles.
In 1867 four great lions were replaced at the foot of the Nelson Column.

On the north side of Trafalgar Square stands the national Gallery, one of the world’s leading art galleries, compromising extensive collections of various European schools of art. The square is popular with visitors who come to relax, watch pavement artists, or eat their lunch and feed the pigeons.

Like Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square is often referred to in the British press as a place where mass meetings and demonstrations are held. The traditional anti-war march is among them.
