Trafalgar Square is in central London. It was laid out in the 1820's and named after the British Fleet's victory over Napoleon's fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It's central column has a statue of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson on top. The Square has two large fountains and oversize lions on plinths. There are three other statues of well known Britons and the fourth plinth exhibits works of art on a rotational basis. The Square is also overlooked by the National Portrait Gallery.
