St. Mary's plague column, Baroque plague monument in Republic Square, Plzeň, Czech Republic
The 14-meter stone column features intricate sculptures of saints, sandstone steps, and a golden Baroque Madonna statue at its summit.
Local residents built this monument in 1681 to mark the end of a severe plague epidemic that affected the population of Plzeň.
The column displays eight saint statues, including St. Wenceslas, St. Barbara, and St. Rosalie, representing protection against diseases and disasters.
The monument stands in the center of Republic Square, next to the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew and numerous restaurants and shops.
The structure contains a marble plate with a gilded inscription from 1681, documenting two restorations funded by public donations in 1890 and 1931.
