Jedna z nejstarších památek v Horicích se nachází na Hankove námestí východne od zámku. Touto památkou je toskánský sloup z roku 1642. Zbudován byl za dob hejtmana Karla Rodovského z Hustíran neznámým autorem. Osud si s památkou „zahrál“ v padesátých letech, údajne v roce 1957, kdy byl povalen splašenými konmi. Od té doby byly torza sloupu uschovány v místní Socharsko-kamenické škole. Ke konci 90. let byl sloup na náklady mesta zrestaurován a v roce 2000 umísten na své puvodní místo, tedy na Hankovo námestí.
