The main square (Hauptplatz) is the historical center of the city. In this amazing place, various architectural styles and trends are mixed into a single whole. In addition, the history of this square is also ancient, it was founded in the 12th century as a market square. In the center of the square is a monument-fountain to Archduke Johan, who did a lot for the development of Graz. Here is the City Hall, which was rebuilt three times. And silent trams, which appeared in the city back in 1878, busily scurry along the Main Square.
