Jackson Square

Jackson Square is the historic square at the heart of the French Quarter, laid out as the Place d'Armes in the early 18th century. The transfer of Louisiana to the United States was proclaimed here in 1803. A statue of Andrew Jackson stands in its garden, framed by St. Louis Cathedral, the Cabildo, the Presbytere and the Pontalba Buildings.
