About this place
The Hauptplatz is a triangular marketplace that serves as the focal point of public life in Graz. It is framed by a mix of architectural styles, from the imposing 19th century City Hall to the delicate stucco work of the 17th century Luegg Houses. Trams crisscross the open space, weaving between pedestrians and sausage stands that are a local institution. At its center stands the fountain monument to Archduke Johann, a beloved figure in Styrian history who promoted industry and agriculture.
