Trg Svobode Square

Trg Svobode Square serves as a central gathering point in Maribor. The square is characterized by its open layout, framed by the Maribor Castle on one side and the Franciscan Church on the other. A prominent feature is the large monument designed by Slavko Tihec, commemorating WWII. While historically the city's main square, it now shares prominence with other areas, particularly those offering outdoor dining. During winter months, an ice skating rink is often installed, adding to the square's activity.
