EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Kaptol Square in Zagreb, Croatia, adorned with the stunning Holy Marys Column, a cherished religious monument and a significant landmark of the city. The column, sculpted by the renowned German-Austrian artist Anton Dominik Fernkorn in 1865, stands proudly in the heart of Zagreb's urban landscape. The intricately carved marble statue of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by four winged angels, is a testament to the deep-rooted Catholic and Christian traditions that have shaped Croatian culture for centuries. The fountain at the base of the column, designed by the Austrian architect Hermann Bolle between 1880 and 1882, adds an elegant touch to the square. The golden angels atop the fountain spread their wings, symbolizing spiritual renewal and the flow of life. The harmonious blend of the sculpture and the fountain creates a serene and spiritual atmosphere, inviting visitors to pause and reflect amidst the bustling city life.
