Trafalgar Square

   Now, that I presented a general history of my favourite city, I would like to concentrate more on the most important places/people that appeared in London's history. 
 Trafalgar Square, one of the most popular places in London might be as well called "The heart of modern London". It has got its name after Britain's greatest naval victory - the Battle of Trafalgar which took part in 1805. 
  Trafalgar square is dominated by Nelson's Column. It was erected in 1843 and represents Admiral Horiato Nelson who died during the Battle of Trafalgar. 

After a successful invasion of Britain Hitler wanted to move the column to Berlin so it would represent German victory upon Brits. But fortunately eventually it didn't happen. 

  Trafalgar Square was always meant to be a ceremonial place and it sure is, even after so many years. Trafalgar Square is a place where a lot of public celebrations take part, such as: New Year's Eve party, sporting celebrations or... the last "Harry Potter" premiere :)
