Historic square surrounded by top shopping outlets, site of daily outdoor cultural and entertainment programs changing throughout the year. Great view of the square from the top floor balcony of the Cheesecake Factory high above the south side of the square. In the center stands a 85-foot-tall (26 m) column topped by a 9-foot (2.7 m) statue of Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory. This monument dedicated to Admiral George Dewey was unveiled in 1903 for his 1898 victory during the Spanish–American War in the Battle of Manila Bay.
