The image shows the base of the Marian Column in Prague, located on Old Town Square.
The original column was built in 1650 as a token of gratitude for Prague's defense
against Swedish troops in 1648. The column was destroyed by a mob in 1918.
The current column is a replica completed in 2020, using a pillar from Rajasthan, India.
The statues at the base depict angels fighting demons, symbolizing the victory of the Virgin Mary.
