Marian plague column in Nitra, Baroque monument in central Nitra, Slovakia.
The Marian plague column features a four-part polygonal structure with a stair-stepped base decorated with twisted volutes and religious reliefs.
Built in 1750 by sculptor Martin Vogerl, the column commemorates the devastating plague epidemic that affected Nitra in 1749 under Bishop Imrich Esterhazy.
The column displays statues of Saint Stephen, Saint Ladislaus, Saint Emeric, and Saint Adalbert, representing important Hungarian religious figures.
The monument stands on the southern slope of the castle hill, making it accessible to visitors exploring the historical center of Nitra.
The statue of Immaculata at the top rests on a globe with a snake, surrounded by angels holding Marian symbols like golden tower and gates.
