Námestie Sv. Mikuláša
Stĺp svätého Jozefa [Column
of Saint Joseph]. This Baroque monument with its triangular column, is a work
of the local sculptor I. Melczer. It was erected in 1731 in gratitude for the
cessation of the Black Death that ravaged Europe in previous years. At the top
of the column is the figure of Saint Joseph with a flower in hand, and at the
base there are angels and statues of Saint Rosalia, Saint Sebastian and San Roch.
