The Main Square is located in the heart of Košice’s historic city center. It is a bustling and vibrant square that has been the social, cultural, and commercial center of the city for centuries. The square holds great historical and cultural significance and is a popular gathering place for both locals and visitors.

One of the main highlights of the Main Square is the St. Elisabeth Cathedral. This Gothic-style cathedral is the largest church in Slovakia and a prominent landmark in Košice. Its soaring spire dominates the skyline, and the interior boasts stunning architecture and religious artwork.

Another notable feature of the Main Square is the so-calle Singing Fountain. This interactive fountain provides a synchronized display of water, light, and music. It is a popular attraction, especially during the summer months, when visitors can enjoy the water shows set to various musical tunes. After a longer period of repair, the Singing Fountain was reopened in April 2024.

The Main Square is a lively venue for various events and festivals throughout the year. These may include cultural festivals, music concerts, art exhibitions, and seasonal markets.
