Fő tér (Main Square)
Fő tér
The historic core square of the Old Town, where the Holy Trinity Column stands amid the Goat Church, the town hall and Gothic and Baroque townhouses.
Fő tér lies in the center of Sopron's inner town and is one of the best-preserved medieval squares in Hungary. In the middle stands the Holy Trinity Column, erected in 1701 to mark the end of a plague, and the Firewatch Tower rises on the north side. Surrounding it are the Neo-Gothic town hall, Storno House, Fabricius House, the Goat Church and the White Angel Pharmacy Museum, with nearly every building several centuries old. Walking south from the square along Church Street and Új utca (New Street) links the synagogue, the city walls, and the Gothic window ledges and courtyards tucked into the alleys. The square is open all day and is especially quiet and beautiful when lit at night. Cafés around the square serve local Blaufränkisch red wine.
