Plaza Ferdinand VII, National Historic Landmark park in downtown Pensacola, United States.
The rectangular park contains a decorative fountain at the north end, a central obelisk monument, and a bronze bust of Andrew Jackson.
The Spanish crown transferred Florida to the United States during a ceremony at this plaza on July 17, 1821.
The central obelisk honors William Dudley Chipley, who brought the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to Pensacola, expanding regional transportation networks.
The plaza occupies two acres between Government Street, Jefferson Street, Zarragossa Street, and Palafox Street in the Historic Pensacola Village area.
Archaeological excavations in 2002 revealed foundations of British structures from the period when Pensacola functioned as the capital of British West Florida.
