Lower Square & Marian Column
Dolní náměstí
A long, narrow square linked to the Upper Square, with a Baroque Marian Plague Column, Neptune and Jupiter fountains, and Renaissance noble palaces.
The Lower Square lies south of the Upper Square and was the site of the medieval market. At its center stands the Marian Plague Column, built between 1715 and 1723, flanked by the Neptune Fountain and the Jupiter Fountain. Around it are noble residences in Renaissance style, including Hauenschild Palace, along with many restaurants and bars, making it a great spot for dinner and a beer in the evening. Free to visit, and easily combined with the Upper Square.
