A beautiful panorama of Ljubljana in winter with Ljubljana Castle on the hill.

Ljubljana

A gorgeous views from Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital and largest city. It's known for its university population and green spaces. The curving Ljubljanica River, lined in outdoor cafes, divides the city's old town from its commercial hub.

Prešeren Square and Triple Bridge

Prešeren Square is the central square in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is part of the old town's pedestrian zone and a major meeting point, where festivals, Ljubljana carnival, concerts, sports, political, and protest events take place. It was renovated in 2007.  The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation with the adjacent monastery, built in the second half of the 17th century, is certainly the most imposing building of Prešeren Square. The Prešeren Monument in in the eastern side of Prešeren Square, is a late Historicist bronze statue of the Slovene national poet France Prešeren.  Triple Bridge connects Prešeren Square with the colonnade of the Central Market on the other side of the river.

Thanks a lot Slavica!
