Preseren and Congress Square

In Ljubljana, our guide took us to the city's two main squares. The pink building is the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, originally built in the 17th century and given its baroque facade in the 18th century. A monastery dating back to the 13th century is attached; it houses thousands of medieval manuscripts. Also pictured is the Triple Bridge leading to Preseren Square, the University of Ljubljana, and the Academie Philharmonica (which was established in 1701, but was completely rebuilt after 1895 earthquake.)Lue lisää
