Places to visit in London IV): Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery

Trafalgar...probably one of the symbols not only of London, but also of England. Yes, roaring lions greet the visitor as they approach the squa

re on foot. A huge square which is wonderful to visit at any time. However, it has a magic atmosphere in Christmas time because it is like our Plaza Mayor up to some point. It celebrates Nelson's victory in 1805. With its lions and fountains, it is a perfect meeting point fot Londoners. Moreover, the National Gallery is situated in Trafalgar Square. It has one of the most important collections of painting around the world ( Piero Della Francesca, Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Rafael, Velázquez, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Monet...). As an infamous Spanish bullfighter would say: incredible.
