    Erected as a symbol of thanks for the liberation of the city from Swedish troops in 1648 during the Thirty Years' War, the column offers a unique connection to Prague's history and is a must-see for anyone visiting the city.

    The Marian Column is a magnificent Baroque sculpture standing atop a tall pillar, depicting Mary, Queen of Heaven. It is surrounded by several figures of saints, all patron saints of Bohemia. The sculpture's fine details and impressive size are testament to the masterful work of the artists who created it.

    The place is wonderful. In winter, a large market is held here, where you can buy souvenirs, Christmas tree bowls, typical winter clothes and, most importantly, a lot of groceries. From savory to sweet, you will go crazy: Prague ham with grilled vegetables, trdelník, churros, cheese pancakes and much more
