Vurnikova hiša, Miklošičeva cesta 8
Vurnik House is probably the most colorful and flamboyantly decorated building in Ljubljana. It was the brainchild of Slovenian architect Ivan Vurnik, who was eager to formulate a national architectural style by merging geometric folk motifs found throughout the Slavic nations. Built in 1921, it represents a unique mixture of Art Nouveau, with dazzling chevrons and zigzags interwoven around the oriel windows on the facade.
Art Nouveau building Wolfova ulica & Preseren Square
3 Dalmatinova ulica
The Slovenian architect Joze Plečnik shaped Ljubljana’s cityscape in the 1920s after an earthquake.
The triple bridge next to Preseren Square
The bridge was designed in 1929 by the prolific architect, Jože Plečnik, who was instrumental in transforming Ljubljana into an architectural and urban planning tour de force. Triple Bridge links Prešeren Square on the west bank of the Ljubljanica river with the Market on the east.
In 1929 Plečnik decided to broaden the original 19th-century bridge by adding two angled side bridges for pedestrians. This addition was needed to alleviate increasing traffic levels at the city’s chief crossing point. The bridge is decorated with curvy lampshades and elegant Renaissance balustrades giving it a strong Venetian atmosphere.
Covered market buildings (Bakeries, butchers, fishmongers)
