Every city tells wonderful stories, and Ljubljana is no exception. These stories tell about people's lives, beliefs, culture, past events, or traditions, and they are best told through exploring art and architecture of the city. I invite you to join me in one such exploration. Disregard dry history lectures, and immerse yourself into story-telling, symbolism, art, and architecture of Ljubljana.

10:00 AM

Meeting Point

Prešernov trg 1

- * My tour starts from the main square (Prešernov trg 1) underneat the Haupmann house, in front of the bronze scale model of Ljubljana (look for the red umbrella), and ends at the same place.

10:00 AM

Prešeren Square

* The love story of France Prešeren: our most famous poet whose statue adorns the main square, who passionately has his eyes on his unrequited love to this day.

* The clash between faith and art: the priest from the red church clashes with the artist of the statue.

* Different architecture, different time periods, different stories: the fascinating reason why the Art Nouveaux buildings are so colourful, and why we have the tripple bridge.

10:10 AM

The Padlock Bridge

* The architecture: the connectin of the medieval castle, and its walls, to the modern architecture of the market, and the bridge.

* Where the statues tell tales: the story behind the Adam and Eve, Satyr, Prometheus, but also behind the Dragon statues on the neighbouring Dragon Bridge. The statues reveal a connection between symbolism of the Greek, Christian, and Slavic mythology, creating a dream-like atmosphere.

10:20 AM

The Seminary Palace

* The Two Hercules: the symbolism of the two Hercules statues in front of the Seminary Library, as the two guardians of the border to the unknown. These giants found their way not only to the early 18th century Ljubljana buliding, but also to many coats of arms around the world.

* The Cathedral of St. Nicholas: the architecture and the amazing bronze doors, on which its art encompasses all Christian times, from Romans to the 20th century.

10:30 AM

The Town Square

* The Town Hall: the story of the most resilient, and most resourceful mayor of Ljubljana, whose ingenuity made the city what it is today, and the middle ages forms of punishment which took place in front of the building.

* The Keymakers Street: getting lost in the narrow streets, and ending up at the one with many bronze faces scatered over its floor, while we discuss the connection of its symbolism to the unforgiving conditions of life during the middle-ages.

10:40 AM

The Old Square

* The statue of the washing women from Bizovik: the story of the villagers from outside of Ljubljana and their centuries old occupation. These hard working ladies woud earn their money by travelling to Ljubljana and washing rich people's clothes.

10:50 AM

A Liquor Shot Break

* Recharge your batteries by trying a local liquor.

11:00 AM

Cobblers' Bridge

* Stories from the middle age: the bakers' thievery, and the butchers' grime.

* The modern architecture: building the bridge, and solving the flooding of the river.

11:10 AM

National and University Library

* The crown jewel of Jože Plečnik's work: decipher the symbolism behind a true work of art, with its mystic rocky facade, the Pegasus handles, or the statues that wish to break free from the building.

11:20 AM

Congress Square

* The witness of all Ljubljana's history: all the buildings by the square also tell tales, and, as such, connect the history of Ljubljana inot a complete circle.

Ending Point

Prešeren Square
