Mariensäule vor Salzburger Dom

The Mariensäule vor Salzburger Dom (Mary's Column in front of Salzburg Cathedral) is an impressive statue located in the heart of Salzburg, Austria. Modeled after a Sacred Heart icon from the 1600s, this tall, intricate column features a bronze statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary standing atop a tall pedestal and surrounded by a bronze crown of stars. This impressive monument was erected in 1717, as a gesture of thanks to the Virgin Mary for her protection during a plague. It stands proudly beside the architectural beauty of Salzburg's awe-inspiring Baroque cathedral.
