Námestie Svätej Trojice is the main square of Banská Štiavnica and the historical center of the former mining town. It is surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque townhouses that once belonged to wealthy merchants and officials associated with silver and gold mining.
The square was laid out in the Middle Ages, when Banská Štiavnica was one of the most important mining centers in the Kingdom of Hungary. The most characteristic feature is the Baroque Plague Column from the 18th century, erected after a plague epidemic.
