A monument to the first bishop of Maribor, Anton Martin Slomšek, has stood on the edge of the square since 1991. The figure is the work of the sculptor Martin Drev. Slomšek, who was born in Uniše on November 26, 1800, was not only a bishop, but also a writer, poet and teacher. He died in Maribor on September 24, 1862. In 1999, Slomšek was beatified by Pope John Paul II.
