    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.
    Translated by
    Slomšek studied theology and philosophy and was ordained a priest in 1824. He then worked as spiritual director at the Klagenfurt seminary for more than a decade. In 1838 he became pastor in Saldenhofen an der Drau. In 1842 he was appointed to the cathedral chapter and diocesan school supervisor in St. Andrä im Lavanttal. In 1846 he became parish priest of Cilli and in the same year Prince-Bishop of the Diocese of Lavant, whose seat was moved to Marburg an der Drau in 1859.

    In 1999 he was beatified by Pope John Paul II.
