London's Trafalgar Square was named in honour of Nelson's victory; at the centre of the square there is a column, Nelson's Column, with a statue of Nelson on top. It was finished in 1843. The statue of Lord Nelson in Bridgetown, Barbados, in what was also once known as Trafalgar Square, was erected in 1813.
