Morový stĺp
Slovakia
Look for it where two squares meet. The plague column stands on the boundary between Rybné námestie and Hviezdoslavovo námestie, in Bratislava's historic zone, a Baroque Holy Trinity column with a three-sided base and a round shaft climbing to a capital curled with volutes. At the very top sits the Trinity itself. It reads as decoration at first glance, but it was raised as a thank-offering, paid for by public collection in 1713 to mark the end of an epidemic that had reached the city at the close of 1712.
