National Heroes Square

National Heroes Square, formerly Trafalgar Square, is the historic heart of Bridgetown. Dominated by the neo-Gothic Parliament Buildings, the square also features a bronze statue of Lord Nelson (predating London's Nelson's Column) and the ornate Dolphin Fountain, erected to commemorate the island's first piped water supply. The square is a gathering place for locals and visitors, with benches shaded by palm trees. It's the starting point for exploring Bridgetown's colonial architecture and serves as a venue for national ceremonies.
