Best Answer

Trafalgar Square was laid out in the early 19th century to celebrate the British naval victory over the French fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 1805. A statue of the British commander, Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, who was killed during the battle and is considered to be one of Britain's greatest naval heroes, stands on top of his column in the square.
