The Marian Columns were built in Bohemia and Moravia often as commemorative columns, as a reminder of the tragic events, especially the wars and the plague epidemics.

The chronograms are located on the pedestal of the Marian Column. The Roman numerals of chronograms are larger than the other letters and are red-brown color-coded from the rest of the text.
