Nelson's Column is a monument in Trafalgar Square, dedicated to Admiral Nelson for his deeds during the French Revolutionary Wars. Initially believed to be 169 feet tall, it was discovered to be 14 feet shorter in 2006.

History

The column was built in 1843, costing £47,000 — over £3 million in modern currency, with a 18 feet statue of Nelson atop facing the Houses of Parliament. The bottom of the column, commsioned in 1858 and sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer, featured the famous battles fought by Nelson: the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, the Battle of the Nile, the Battle of Copenhagen, and the Battle of Trafalgar which he was mortally wounded.[1]
