The Jackson Square is in New Orleans, LA. If you are in NOLA you can not miss this touristy spot. This was announced a National Historic Landmark in 1960. This spot is known in the city’s history, because Louisiana was made part of the United States in 1803. This was due to the territory pursuant to the Louisiana Purchase. In 2012 the American Planning Association designated Jackson Square as one of America’s Great Public Spaces, and I couldn’t agree more. It is a beautiful area with the St. Louis Cathedral as the backdrop of Andrew Jackson riding in on a horse. Andrew Jackson’s statue is placed in the center of Jackson Square because of the honor he showed when commemorating the American victory over the British 25 years earlier at the Battle of New Orleans. I would recommend visiting this area and taking a picture with the square in the background.
