New Orleans, Jackson Square was Once Called Plaza de Armas
Jackson Square in New Orleans is probably the most photographed block in the state of Louisiana. The Plaza de Armas was designed in 1721 and was the center of New Orleans. In 1856 it was renamed Jackson Square after General Andrew Jackson who defeated the British in the War of 1812.
You can always get different looks and scenes depending on the time of day and the local weather. Lots of history to think about.
