Graz - Karmeliterplatz

Northeast of the Graz Burg you will find the Karmeliterplatz, a charming square laid out after 1578 as the central feature of an extension to the town, and named after the former Carmelite convent which was secularized in 1784 and now houses the police headquarters. On the eastern side of the square stands a memorial to those who fell in the Second World War, and on the southern side the Palais Galler (c. 1690), with a Trinity Column (1680) in front of it.
