Dreifaltigkeitssäule, Religious monument in Alter Platz, Klagenfurt, Austria.

The Holy Trinity Column rises 35 meters high in the center of Klagenfurt, featuring detailed sculptures and religious motifs along its limestone structure.

Construction of the monument took place between 1716 and 1754, marking the end of a devastating plague that affected the region during the 17th century.

The column displays 18 saint sculptures and 14 religious reliefs, representing the strong Catholic heritage and artistic traditions of Carinthia's capital city.

The monument stands in Alter Platz, Austria's first pedestrian zone, surrounded by shops and cafes that make it a central meeting point.

Empress Maria Theresa attended the column's consecration ceremony, while the structure later endured cannon fire during the Seven Years' War.
