It connects the prehistory of pile-dwellers with the 2000-year-old Roman Emona, the medieval centre below the castle hill with rich Baroque façades, the beauties of Art Nouveau with the creations of Jože Plečnik, significant architect and urbanist of Europe.

  • Plečnik's Bridges in Ljubljana
    6722564 Plečnik's Bridges in Ljubljana Ana Porok Curator of Architecture and Design / Plečnik House, Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Abstract The Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik (1872–1957) left a significant mark on three European capital cities: Vienna, Prague, and especially his native city of Ljubljana. He worked there from 1921 until his death and largely realised his vision of a city transformed into the national capital based on Classical models. Thanks to Plečnik’s work, the capital city of Slovenia as a whole is a work of art in terms of urban planning and architecture. It is one of the few cities that have been so profoundly marked by a single architect. Plečnik’s Ljubljana features a land axis and a water axis. The land axis runs from his own house in Trnovo across Trnovo Bridge, along Emonska Street and Vegova Street to the city centre with Congress Square and Zvezda Park. Plečnik’s plans for the water axis encompassed designs for the Ljubljanica River embankments at Trnovski pristan, the Gradaščica River outflow, the Ljubljanica embankments in the city centre and designs for Cobblers’ Bridge, Triple Bridge, the main market with unrealised Butchers' Bridge and the river banks down to Ljubljanica Lock Gate. Wherever possible, Plečnik built bridges so as to connect the medieval city at the foot of the Castle Hill with the well-arranged squares on the left bank, and to open views towards the river.He also often respectfully preserved old architecture and incorporated it into a new composition. By re-designing river banks and bridges, and thoughtfully placing plantings intended as important architectural features, Plečnik gave a Mediterranean flavour to the city alongside the Ljubljanica River.

  • Contemporary Legends from the Slovene Karst in Comparison with Fairylore and Belief Traditions
    Contemporary Legends from the Slovene Karst in Comparison with Fairylore and Belief Traditions Monika Kropej The paper presents narratives collected in the last decade in the Karst region in southwest Slovenia, more precisely in Lož Valley with its Snežnik Castle and its forests, in the vicinity of Cerknica Lake, and in the region of Pivka. Although most of these stories can be defined as contemporary legends they do have much in common with traditional folk tales and with local mythology. The analyzed legends mention ghosts, witches, fairies, and other mythological creatures from Slovene traditional mythology; their content has been changed considerably, and they are usually narrated as personal experience, which is a characteristic of contemporary legends. On the basis of exact comparison and the study of context the author tries to outline the changes in contemporary folk narrative and the social function of both genres of narration according to the circumstances in which they have been recounted. The habit of recounting narratives – traditional or contemporary – is still an important part of comunication among the people, both young and old, living in the region of Notranjsko/Inner Carniola, in several villages situated in Lož Valley, by Cerknica Lake, and in the Pivka region. The research is based on the narratives collected in 1996 and later, compared to the folktales that have been collected in the Karst region since the 19th and 20th century. Analyzed are the social functions and context of these narratives, and the differences are outlined between traditional folktales and the stories that have been recently collected. A strong influence of local cultural and natural circumstances can be observed both in old folktales and in contemporary legends, which is why these narratives are still part of the heritage alive in the territory studied .
