<p>Nelson’s Column is the 169‑foot (51.5 m) Corinthian victory monument standing at the centre of Trafalgar Square, built between 1840 and 1843 to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson and his death at the Battle of Trafalgar. Designed by William Railton, it consists of a granite column topped by Edward Hodges Baily’s 17‑foot sandstone statue of Nelson. The pedestal carries four large bronze reliefs—cast from captured French guns—showing Nelson’s major battles: Cape St Vincent, the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar. The famous Landseer lions were added later in 1867, after several abandoned earlier attempts. The monument has undergone major restorations, notably in 1968 and 2006, when surveys confirmed its true height was shorter than long believed.</p>
