Photos of Ljubljana – Print & Photo Gallery

Photos of Ljubljana

Here you can view some of my best photos of Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. Small, cosy and compact is what best describes the Slovene capital. With a population of around 288,000 and just 163 sq kms in size, it may pale in comparison to other capital cities, but therein lies its charm. The city sprawls around the magnificent medieval castle, sitting atop a 375-metre hill standing guard over the baroque and modernist buildings of the old town and centre. From its 19th century watchtower you not only get a commanding view Ljubljana’s heart and soul, but the sprawling alpine mountains to the north and Ljubljana Marshes to the south. The best view of the Ljubljana castle itself is from the restaurant or terrace cafe in the Nebotičnik building on Slovenska Cesta.

The Ljubljanica River bisects the city. Like most capitals, it’s a lively and vibrant place with a wealth of museums, galleries, baroque churches, restaurants, cafes and nightlife. The unique architectural sights such as the Triple Bridge, Dragon Bridge, Central Marketplace and National Library are all down to the vision of Slovenia’s most celebrated architect: Jože Plečnik.

View down to the centre of Ljubljana and the Ljubljana Castle lit up in the colours of the Irish flag to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day weekend 2016 in Slovenia. The castle was lit up green last year to celebrate the event, but as Ljubljana is the European Green Capital for 2016 the castle is already being lit green at night for the whole year. So the Irish embassy arranged for the colours of the flag to adorn the castle for 2016.
Backlit view of Robba Fountain and Mestni Trg, also known as the Fountain of Three Carniolan Rivers, with the sunburst from behind the tower. It sits in the old town square (Mestni Trg) in front of the town hall. Built in 1751, this famous fountain is named after its creator, the Italian Baroque sculptor Francesco Robba (1698-1757). The pool is in the shape of a three leaf clover and from it rises a three sided obilisk. The fountain is adorned with the statues of the three river Gods: Krka, Ljubljanica and Sava, also the names of three of Slovenia's main rivers. The original has been removed and placed in a museum for protection, due to its fragile nature, and has been replaced with a replica.
