Hauptplatz (The Main Square) forms the center of Linz, and with an area of around 13,200 m², it is one of the largest enclosed squares in Austria. An impressive 20-metre-high column, completed in 1723, is situated in the middle of Hauptplatz. The column is made of white marble and is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It was built in gratitude for having survived disasters and as protection against fire, war and plague. As a marketplace, Hauptplatz soon helped Linz to achieve an economic recovery. Hauptplatz is still the venue for a variety of events and markets.

Hauptplatz is located near to the Danube, and is enclosed by buildings with an important historical background and whose striking facades characterise the square's appearance. Examples include the Old Town Hall, which is the seat of Linz's mayor and where Tourist Information Linz is also located, as well as the building of the University of Arts and Industrial Design Linz, and Feichtinger-Haus, which houses the famous Glockenspiel.
