An epic journey along the traces of Josef Plečnik’s plans and visions

An epic journey along the traces of Josef Plečnik’s plans and visions, both on land and water, where you’ll get to know, piece by piece, one of Europe’s greatest twentieth-century architects who bestowed eternal beauty and charm on Ljubljana. This pleasant guided walk around Ljubljana city centre gives you an insight into some of Plečnik’s best works, such as the so called Plečnik’s Market, part of the Ljubljana Central Market, which was conceived as a two-storey range of riverside market halls and later connected to the Triple Bridge − another of Plečnik’s masterpieces and a unique architectural gem created between 1929 and 1932, when two side bridges intended for pedestrians were added to an existing bridge to form a triple bridge structure.

Then there are the National and University Library, Plečnik’s numerous revamp projects along the banks of the Ljubljanica, the Cobblers’ Bridge, the Križanke Summer Theatre, and the Kongresni trg square − to mention just a few located in the city centre. Thanks to Plečnik’s well thought-out interventions into the urban fabric of Ljubljana and its bridges, streets and parks, a provincial Habsburg town with Baroque and Art Nouveau accents turned into the capital of Slovenia.
