Holy Trinity Square

Holy Trinity Square (Trg Svetog Trojstva) was named after the stone monument of the Holy Trinity which was placed in the central part of the square in 1774. The monument was erected as a symbol of gratitude for the end of one of the numerous plague epidemics of that time. The monument consisted of an elegant, graceful and tall column and a statue of the Holy Trinity on top of it. During its removal in 1947 the monument was damaged.

Today this square is known as "Ćelavi trg" (Bald Square) among the people of Sombor.
