Maria column, Baroque monument in Upper Square, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
The Maria Column rises 35 meters high in the center of Upper Square, featuring a statue of Virgin Mary surrounded by multiple saints and allegorical figures.
The construction of this commemorative structure took place between 1716 and 1722, following a devastating plague epidemic that affected the city population.
Local sculptor Karl A. M. Kretzschmar created intricate reliefs and decorative elements that demonstrate the religious and artistic values of 18th-century Olomouc.
The column stands in the main square of Olomouc, near various cafes and shops, with informative plaques providing details about its history and architecture.
The monument underwent complete reconstruction in 1993 after its removal in 1958, now serving as a central meeting point and photography location.
