History
The plague epidemic of 1738-1739 decimated the population of Temesvár, killing one-sixth of the city's population, around 1000 people. In 1740, following a vow by the Councillor Johann Deschan, the statue was raised after the epidemic had passed. Its corners are decorated with statues of St. Sebastian, St. Roch and St. Charles of Borromeo. There is also a mineral water fountain in the grassed area of the square.
