Ljubljana is the capital and largest city of the state of Slovenia. It is located in the center of the country and between the rivers Ljubljanica and Sava, and has a population of 310,000.
Its historical and monumental heritage, as well as various cultural celebrations that take place throughout the year, including the International Summer Festival, make it a city that receives both national and international tourism. Its most representative monuments include the Cathedral, the Castle, the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation and the Dragon Bridge, as well as the set of modernist buildings. Architect Joži Plečnik signed many of the city's most prominent buildings.
The old town is made up of two neighborhoods: the town hall (which houses the main architectural works) and the neighborhood of the Knights of the Cross, where are located, among others, the church of the Ursulines, the building of the philharmonic society and the Cankar house.
After the earthquake of 1511, Ljubljana was rebuilt according to the models of a Renaissance city, and after the earthquake of 1895, the city was re-planned, this time following the patterns of the Art Nouveau style. So the architecture of the city is a mixture of styles. Large sections built after World War II often include a personal touch by Slovenian architect Joži Plečnik.
