Námestie A. Hlinku, Pedestrian square in Žilina, Slovakia

Námestie A. Hlinku features a bronze statue, a tiered fountain, and an open public space bordered by the Považská Gallery of Art and Mirage shopping center.

The square transformed from the original riverbed of the Váh River, with the Všivák stream flowing through it until the early 20th century.

The 1994 bronze statue depicts Andrej Hlinka, with an inscription reading 'Andrej Hlinka - Otec národa', commemorating the Slovak national revivalist.

The Mirage Shopping Center at the square includes four underground levels and four above-ground floors, offering retail spaces and a parking garage.

The square includes a heart-shaped singing fountain designed by Jozef Haščík, replacing a 1925 building that was demolished to enhance views of the balustrade.
