It stands on the place where the execution ground of the Prešov Blood Court was from March to September 1687. The sandstone sculpture in the form of a three-part pedestal with statues of four saints - St. Nicholas the Bishop, St. John of Nepomuk, St. Stephen and St. Francis Xavier is the work of the Košice sculptor Jozef Hartmann. The dominating feature of the work is a statue of the Madonna and Child, with a gilded crown and a sceptre. During the bombing of Prešov in 1944 by Soviet planes, the sculpture was badly damaged. It was restored in 1967 and later in 1995-1997.
