Holy Trinity Square & Plague Column
Trg Svetog Trojstva
A Baroque square in the center of Tvrđa, with the Holy Trinity Plague Column at its heart, surrounded by fortress-era military and administrative buildings.
Holy Trinity Square is the core of the Tvrđa fortress. At its center stands the Holy Trinity Plague Column, erected in 1729–1730 by the widow of a local general to commemorate those who died in a plague. It is the most elegant Baroque plague column in Slavonia. Around the square are 18th-century fortress buildings, including the commandant's headquarters, the main guardhouse (now a museum) and the Slavonian General Command, most of which are now used by the university and museums. The square is open free of charge, and it is surrounded by cafés, making it a good place to rest and take photos.
