the holy trinity square

A stunning plague column monument in the center of this square, surrounded by restaurants, great art shops and physically beautiful, restored buildings. The climb up the hill can be a real bear, especially in the winter!

Probably better known as Holy Trinity square formed around 15th century amongst the burgher houses in the midlle of the steep town square. Beautifully designed and a memrial to those lost in the town.

The Square has a number of attractions - e.g. St Catherine's Church - but the best for me was the Information Centre! Very helpful staff, who claimed that I was the first visitor from Leicester (!), but also because it houses part of the old mine and for 50 cents (!!) one can walk along a 75-metre section.

It is worthy to come here, take a pictures, drink a coffee... nice cosy location. Strongly recommended places: - Gavalier Café (in upper part of the square, far the best selection of home-made desserts and extraordinary coffe)- antiquarian bookshop "Antivariatik" - many old books about Banská Štiavnica (not only in Slovak)- visitor centre - all necessary information about tourist offer in the Banská Štiavnica region- art shop "Diela a dielka slovenských výtvarníkov" (just next to the Plague Column) - really wide offer of works of art and souvenirsThe only drawback of the place is many of cars parking there, but it is anyway one of the most charming locations in the town.

The square is rather small, but well renovated with a few attractions, like the key Holy Trinity monument. A church, town hall and entry to the nearby mines are just a few attraction to be visited on the square. There aren't many cafe/restaurants on the square, so it's not a lively place.It is really nice at night.

central historical part of living area with interesting hauses of important citizens of town from 15 th century and some of churches

must see, beautiful architecture and views , the TOWN has just a great architecture and it's definitely a Place to SEE!!!!

Center and the most beautiful place in Banska Stiavnica. The square is lined by splended old houses. In the middle there is a plague column, Holy Trinity Column, built out of gratiude for the end of the plague which had troubled the town from 1710 to 1711. At the bottom, the sare is limited by the Town Hall and the Church of St. Catherine. Very calm, pleasant place, have a cup of coffee there.

Keď už ísť do Banskej Štiavnice, určite treba ´zablúdiť´ aj na Námestie Sv. Trojice.Asi najhlavnejšou dominantu námestia je morový stĺp, ktorý symbolizuje víťazstvo nad morovou epidémiou, a bol postavený začiatkom 18. storočia :)

Stojí za to projít si i okolní uličky. Zajímavá byla prodejna uměleckých předmětů. Fanoušci muzeí určitě navštivné mineralogické muzeum na náměstí.

Самый центр исторического города, площадь с красивыми домами, чумовым столбом по середине. Всегда, когда праздники (как например праздник шахтеров и геологов Саламадер) тут проходят концерты, разные игры... Очень нравится современный рельеф про историю города с ящеригами и карликами. В его деталях видно мастерство автора!
