概要
クイックファクト: The plague monument stands in the city center, erected as a sign of gratitude for the end of the plague epidemic that ravaged in the 18th century. The sculptures on the column depict the Holy Trinity and various saints, protectors against diseases.
見どころ: An interesting detail is that each figure on the column has a different facial expression and pose, giving a sense of movement and life despite being made of stone. Additionally, the column is positioned in such a way that the viewer from certain points can see a dramatic three-dimensional effect of light and shadow.
