Best time to visit

Rano jutro ili kasno popodne pruža najbolje svetlo za fotografisanje i manju gužvu zbog turista. Proleće i jesen nude prijatnu temperaturu za šetnju.

Budget tips

Ulaz je besplatan, ali lokalni vodiči nude ture po pristupačnoj ceni koje vredi poslušati. Ponesite keš za suvenire i osveženje u obližnjem kafiću.

About

Quick facts: 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.

Highlights: 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.

Insider tips

  • Obući udobne cipele za šetnju po kamenim ulicama.
  • Najbolje fotografije nastaju sa stepeništa koje gleda na trg.
  • Izbegavati vikende zbog većeg broja turista.
  • Ne propustiti detalje na sakralnim skulpturama, svaki ima svoju priču.
