Trafalgar Square, Public square in Westminster, England
Nelson's Column rises 169 feet above the square's center, with four bronze lions guarding its base and two large fountains on either side.
The square opened in 1844 to commemorate the British naval victory at the Battle of Trafalgar against Napoleon's forces in 1805.
The National Gallery occupies the entire north side of the square, displaying more than 2,300 European paintings spanning from the 13th century.
Four pedestrian underpasses connect the corners of the square, providing direct access to Charing Cross station and neighboring streets in central London.
Norway donates a Christmas tree to the square each December since 1947, continuing a tradition that started after World War II.
