Review:
The historic Hauptplatz (The Main Square) of Linz has remained a part of the city for hundreds of years. Dating back to the 13th century, the 13,200 m2 open square represents one of the largest urban spaces in Europe. Visitors can admire the square’s Trinity Column. Constructed in 1723, the baroque-style monument made of solid marble glorifies the Holy Trinity in a few ways by protecting the guilds, the emperor, and the citizens of Linz from three disasters: war, fire, and plague. Sculptures of patron saints Sebastian, Florian, and Carlo Borromeo decorate the monument’s column. The Main Square also hosts a market on Fridays.
