Maria column, Franciscan Square, Religious memorial in Franciscan Square, Slovakia
The Maria Column features a prominent statue of the Virgin Mary standing atop a decorative pillar with intricate stone carvings at its base.
The memorial column was constructed in response to the devastating plague epidemics that affected Bratislava during the seventeenth century.
Local residents gather at the Maria Column for religious ceremonies and traditional events throughout the Catholic calendar year.
The memorial provides an accessible meeting point in the center of Franciscan Square, with paved pathways suitable for all visitors.
Four stone angels stand guard at each corner of the column's base, representing different aspects of divine protection for the city.
