Baja's main square is compared to St. Mark's Square in Venice. One of the most enduring monuments for tourists is the Four Leaf Square with a beautiful view of Sugovica and the opposite island of Petofi. In the historical buildings there are many hotels, shops, cafes and tourist information offices. The square, covered with characteristic basalt cubes, was once the scene of markets and fairs, while today city festivals and programs take place.
