It also amazes with its grandeur and annually attracts crowds of tourists to admire this attraction. The square was founded in 1820. Initially, in its place there were aviaries for royal falcons. Later, stables were built there, and after they were demolished, local authorities decided to create a huge square. The goal of this project was to improve the city and provide people with a place for cultural recreation.

The square was named after the naval Battle of Trafalgar on this site, which was led by Admiral Horatio Nelson. In memory of this outstanding man, a column with a granite Nelson monument on top was erected in the square. The height of the column is 56 meters. At the foot there are huge four lions made of bronze.

In addition to the Nelson monument, the rest of the space includes many other interesting structures. These are sculptures of great people who played a significant role in the history of England, majestic fountains, two National Galleries that store about 2,300 paintings, and St. Martin's Church.

Many years ago, Trafalgar Square was a haven for wild pigeons, they flocked from everywhere, tourists and local citizens loved to feed them. But it was soon recognized that pigeons leave behind a lot of dirt and damage stone structures. In 2000, authorities banned the sale of bird food, but people still continued to feed them. And then they introduced a ban on feeding, and punishment in the form of a fine for those who disobeyed. Over time, the pigeons began to disappear and now they practically never come.

Since its creation, Trafalgar Square has become a traditional place for rallies and pickets, as well as for holiday celebrations and festivals. Residents celebrate each New Year by gathering in the square, where the Great Britain holiday tree is erected every time.

It also amazes with its greatness and annually gathers crowds of tourists to admire this landmark. The square was founded in 1820. Initially, in its place there were aviaries for royal falcons. Later, there were built stables, and after they were demolished, local authorities decided to create a huge area. The purpose of this project was to beautify the city, and to provide people with a place for cultural recreation.

The square was named after the naval Battle of Trafalgar on this site, which was led by Admiral Horatio Nelson.

Trafalgar Square is surrounded by many roads, and its center is the main traffic junction. The movement of traffic is intensively growing during the peak hours. But recently the number of cars has decreased, for the safety of pedestrians, and those who come there for resting.

Many years ago Trafalgar Square was a haven of wild pigeons, they flew everywhere, and tourists and local citizens liked to feed them. But soon it was recognized that the pigeons leave a lot of mud after themselves, and spoil the stone structures. In 2000, the authorities banned the sale of feed for birds, but people still continued to feed them. And then they introduced a ban on feeding, and punishment in the form of a fine for those who violated the ban. Over time, the pigeons began to disappear and now almost do not arrive.

It’s a traditional place for meetings, demonstrations, other gatherings and mass events holding. The main country’s Christmas tree imported from Norway is set there annually. Norway presents Britain with a tree to thank for liberation from the Nazis.

It was named so by George Taylor in commemoration of the Battle of Trafalgar that took place in 1805. In the center of the square the Nelson’s Column, surrounded with fountains, is situated. Horatio Nelson was a commander admiral at that historical naval battle who died defeating Napoleon. His statue erected in 1843 is about 200 feet high and has 4 sculpted lions on its basement (added later on).

There are 4 plinths in every corner of Trafalgar Square with statues of George IV, Charles Napier, and Henry Havelock. The northwest plinth also known as the fourth plinth remained empty for 150 years. There should have been an equestrian statue of King William IV. Though, due to the lack of money the project wasn’t completed. Recently it has been decided to place there modern art installations that should be changed every 2 years. Since 2013 there is an ultramarine blue statue of Hahn/Cock.

The National Gallery of London is also located on the north side of the square. It was completed in 1843. Its collection is compiled of the masterpieces of famous artists: Rafael, Rembrandt, Titian, Hogarth, Michelangelo, Rubens, Renoir and others. The National Portrait Gallery is a world-renowned gallery that has at its disposal the portraits of outstanding British people since Tudor times till present. The portraits are arranged thematically and must depict people who have been dead at least for ten years.

And South Africa houses as well as Admiralty Arch and St. Martin-in-the-Fields’ church are other prominent places of visit located nearby. The style of the last one had been copied by various architects for building churches, especially in the USA.

If a tourist experiences some troubles, he can ask for the help the heritage wardens which are present in the square around the clock. They provide with the appropriate answers and may give some pieces of advice as for the nearby attractions.

Till the recent time the doves were a special attraction of the place. There could be up to 35 thousand pigeons on the square simultaneously. Partially it was because of the tourists who fed birds. In fact, that made a great problem as the city administration spent 160 thousand dollars for cleaning the streets and monuments from the bird droppings every year. In 2007 the feeding pigeons was strictly prohibited that led to the decrease of the birds number.
