Jackson Square

Jackson Square is located within the French Quarter and has a lot going on, especially during the weekend. During the week it was pretty quiet and not very many people around. There is a big statue of Andrew Jackson on a horse in the center of the square. Lots of artists display their work for sale all around the square, lots of street performers and astrologers too. The cathedral is located there as well. Below are a few photos taken from the square.
