Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, Ljubljana
Highlight • Religious Site
The image of Prešeren Square is mainly characterized by the Franciscan monastery with the Church of the Annunciation. The Augustinians lived there until the end of the 18th century. The church was built between 1646 and 1660, its facade was completed around 1700, rebuilt in the 19th century and renovated in 1993. Above the facade stands a copper statue of the Virgin Mary, the largest statue of her in the city.
The church is decorated with a monumental high altar by the sculptor Francesco Robba, which was built in the mid-18th century. In the mid-19th century, the interior of the church was painted with frescoes by Matevž Langus. The interior acquired its current appearance after the earthquake of 1895. The ceiling of the church was painted with frescoes by Matej Sternen between 1935 and 1936. Plečnik's cross is located in a special chapel.

Ljubljana Old Town
Highlight • Settlement
The old town hall, which houses the seat of the Ljubljana Municipality, was built in the late 15th century by Peter Bezlaj. The building acquired its current appearance in 1717-19, when it was extended by the architect Gregor Maček Sr. according to plans by Carlo Martinuzzi. The town hall was later rebuilt several times. The most extensive reconstruction took place in 1963 according to plans by Svetozar Križaj.
The front facade shows Venetian influence. In the vestibule, a late Gothic plaque with a coat of arms has been preserved as a remnant of the old building, as well as a late 17th century statue of Hercules with a lion that once stood on the Hercules fountain on Stari trg square. In the courtyard arcades there is also a Narcissus fountain, a work by the sculptor Francesco Robba, which was originally located in the Bokalce Castle. Next to the stairs is a monument to Mayor Ivan Hribar (1851-41).

Robba Fountain (Fountain of the Three Carniolan Rivers)
Highlight • Monument
FOUNTAIN OF THE THREE CARNIVORIANS RIVERS - THE ROBBA FOUNTAIN
The Fountain of the Three Carniola Rivers on the edge of the Town Square (Mestni trg), also known as the "Robba's Fountain", is one of the most famous Baroque monuments in Ljubljana. It was created in 1743-51 by the Venetian sculptor and architect Francesco Robba (1698-1757). The artist from Venice spent most of his life in Ljubljana and is considered the best stone master of Ljubljana's Baroque period.
The fountain was modeled on famous Roman fountains. The three figures of river gods on the fountain probably symbolize three rivers of Carniola: Sava, Ljubljanica and Krka. In plan, the fountain has the shape of a trefoil or old city seal. The fountain was Robba's last work in the city. After the fountain was completed, the artist, who had become impoverished by then, moved to Zagreb.

A very beautiful city!
Lots of small streets, a weekly market that's worth seeing, and the castle towers high on the hill. Almost like Prague, only a little smaller. But no less beautiful! 😊

You can still see the remains of 50 years of communism, which look a bit run down. Otherwise, there are many lovingly restored beautiful buildings and also some that already look great on the outside, but are still gutted.

In addition to being a large ski area, it is known for its spectacular views. Unfortunately, the weather put a damper on our plans, with clouds on and above the mountains and a forecast that …
