Jackson Square

New Orleans plaza

Jackson Square is a historic public plaza in the French Quarter of New Orleans, centered on an equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson.

The square serves as a gathering place for street performers, artists, and tourists, bordered by St.

Louis Cathedral and the Pontalba Buildings.

We watched a brass band play in Jackson Square.

Other cities have parks or plazas named Jackson Square, though New Orleans claims the most famous.
