Győr's renovated Baroque main square is an important site in the life of the city. This is where the Mary Column, the Benedictine Complex, the Apatúr House and the Iron Log Trade Sign, among others, is located.

At the center of the square, we will find the Mary Column commissioned by Lipót Kollonich Bishop of Győr in 1686 to commemorate the retaking of Buda from the Turkish. This is the location of the Benedictine building complex. The Saint Ignatius of Loyola Benedictine Church, monastery and high school was built by the Jesuits in the 17th century. After the order was disassembled, the Benedictine order gained ownership of the building complex. On the southern side of the square as a part of the Benedictine monastery, there is an early Baroque pharmacy museum still fulfilling its original function. The Lloyd building operates today as a part of the Benedictine school, this was originally an inn at the end of the 15th century. It came into its modern form when renovations were completed in 2010. Under the corner terrace of the building under Széchenyi Square 4, there is an iron log. According to tradition, craftsmen coming to Győr each strike a nail into the log, thus, it became an iron log. In fact, the iron log is the trade sign of a spice seller who had been operating here since 1830. The Apatúr House is among the most beautiful specimens of later-Baroque bourgeois architecture in Győr, it dates back to the 17th century, but in its current form originates from the 18th and functions as an exhibition venue for the Flóris Rómer Museum of History and Art.
