The Jubilee Column in the center of the Palace Square is crowned by the 100-hundredweight (approximately 1,000 kg) statue of the goddess Concordia. It was erected in Stuttgart's Palace Square between 1841 and 1846 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of King William I of Württemberg's reign and his 60th birthday. The column consists of a 30-meter-high granite shaft, a 5-meter-high statue of the Roman goddess Concordia, four reliefs depicting historical scenes, and four allegorical figures at the corners of the column's base. Four reliefs are embedded in the base of the column. They depict the homage paid by both chambers of the Estates on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of King William I of Württemberg's reign in 1841, as well as scenes from the victorious campaigns of the Württembergers in the Allied war against Napoleon I. Four statues of female figures by Theodor Wagner are allegories of the four estates: trade and commerce, agriculture, the military, and arts and sciences.

The church has stood on Königstraße since its consecration in 1811. At that time, it was the first Catholic church in Stuttgart after the Reformation. King Frederick I of Württemberg had provided the land to the Catholics; shortly before, the practice of the Catholic faith had been placed under royal protection. The Catholic church was built using stones from the Protestant court church near Solitude Palace, which had been dismantled there. During the Second World War, St. Eberhard's Church was almost completely destroyed. Reconstruction followed, and over the years, several renovations gave the church its present appearance. In 1978, the church was elevated to the status of cathedral of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. It is the most visited church in the diocese and is valued, among other things, for its church music and its welcoming atmosphere.

The Duke Christoph Monument stands in Stuttgart's Schlossplatz (Palace Square). The bronze monument was created in 1889 by court sculptor Paul Müller and depicts Duke Christoph, who reigned from 1550 to 1568. Scenes from his life are portrayed on the relief panels. It was through his initiative that Protestantism spread and became more firmly established in Württemberg. In this context, he is also considered the author of the Württemberg church and school regulations.
