Bridgetown - National Heroes Square

National Heroes Square (formerly called Trafalgar Square) is a small park between the Inner Basin of the Constitution River and the Parliament buildings. It has three sculptures.

The obelisk-shaped cenotaph is a memorial to the Barbadians killed in the two World Wars.

A statue of Lord Horatio Nelson which was erected in 1813, 36 years before Nelson's column was put up in London. Barbadians relished the fact that Nelson sailed to this island in 1805 only months before he was killed at Trafalgar off the coast of Spain.

The third structure is a fountain to commemorate the first piped water in Bridgetown. It features dolphins on clam shells and was paid for by public donations.
