Plague Memorial, Maribor, Slovenia
The Plague Memorial is a monument in the Main Square of the city of Maribor, Slovenia, erected by "pious burghers" in gratitude for the end of a 1680 plague epidemic that had claimed a third of the city's population.
The original monument was built in 1681; the current one is a 1743 replacement by local sculptor Jožef Štraub. It is considered among his finest work, and one of the best examples of baroque art in Slovenia.
马里博尔（斯洛文尼亚语：Maribor）位于斯洛文尼亚德拉瓦河畔，是该国第二大城市。
