Holy Trinity column, Baroque shrine in Malostranské náměstí, Prague, Czech Republic.

The Holy Trinity column is a Baroque monument standing in the center of Malostranské náměstí square, decorated with elaborate figures and ornamental details throughout its structure. The column rises several meters high and remains visible from all sides of the plaza.

Construction began in 1713 as a response to a severe plague that struck Prague in the early 1700s. The monument became a symbol of gratitude and hope after the city survived this crisis.

The column was originally planned as a saint's column dedicated to St Wenceslas, but the Czech Chancellery in Pilsen requested it be changed to a Trinity column. It was funded by the Lesser Town of Prague and by donations from its inhabitants.

The square is well connected by public transport lines and metro stations nearby, giving visitors several options to arrive. The monument stands in the open square and is easily visible without any special access requirements.

The column was struck by lightning on 16 August 2023, so it no longer stands intact. It was originally planned as a column dedicated to St Wenceslas, but the Czech Chancellery in Plzeň requested a change to a Trinity column.
