Holy Trinity Square assumes the central position in the town’s historical centre and it is the best place to start our stroll through Požega. It is shaped as an irregular triangle with romanesque features and it gained its current appearance in the age of baroque.
Its baroque arches, „bolte”, placed at the base of most buildings in the western part of the square are what makes the square unique.
In 1749 the baroque votive monument to the Holy Trinity – The Plague column (Kužni pil) – was erected in memory of 798 lives lost in the plague epidemics which ravaged the city in 1739. It was built by the Italian sculptor Gabriel Granicije for the price of 2000 eggs and 300 forints. Its tip holds the statue of the Holy Trinity decorated with sculptures of St. Roch, St. Sebastian, St. Francis Xavier and St Charles Borromeo. The square base of the monument bears an inscription of letters representing Roman numerals which add up to the year of the construction of the monument. The eastern part of the base is decorated with the city coat of arms, which was carved seventeen years prior to it being formally approved in 1765.
