    Jure Tičar eT al. QUAESTIONES GEOGRAPHICAE 36(3) • 2017 FROM URBAN GEODIVERSITY TO GEOHERITAGE: THE CASE OF LJUBLJANA (SLOVENIA) Jure Tičar, Blaž Komac, maTiJa Zorn, maTeJa FerK, mauro HrvaTin, roK ciglič Anton Melik Geographical Institute, Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia Manuscript received: March 31, 2017 Revised version: June 19, 2017 Tičar J., Komac B., Zorn M., FerK M., HrvaTin M., ciglič R., 2017. From urban geodiversity to geoheritage: the case of Ljubljana (Slovenia). Quaestiones Geographicae 36(3), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 37–50. 7 figs, 1 table. aBsTracT: The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection of various geomorphological regions that have strongly influ- enced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was built on the first river terrace of the Ljubljanica River, and in the Middle Ages a town was built in a strategic position between the Lju- bljanica River and Castle Hill. The modern city absorbed all usable space between the nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features in Ljubljana, their influence on the city’s spatial development, and urban geoheritage. The results indicate new possibilities for urban geoheritage tourism in the Slovenian capital and its surroundings. Key words: geoheritage, geomorphology, urbanization, spatial growth, Ljubljana Corresponding author: Jure Tičar, [email protected] Introduction connecting the diversity of geomorphological and geological elements with their interpretation During the 1990s, geologists and geomorphol- and recreation (Necheş 2016). Consenquently ogists started using the term geodiversity to de- many geoparks dedicated to protect and to pro- scribe the diversity of nonliving nature (Sharples mote the nonliving elements of nature are being 1993, Wiedenbein 1994, Zwolinski 2004).

    The Founder of the Ljubljana Festival is the City of Ljubljana The Patron of the 2019 Ljubljana Festival is the Mayor of the City of Ljubljana, Mr Zoran Janković. PRESS RELEASE Ljubljana, May 2019 LJUBLJANA FESTIVAL – CULTURAL HUB AT THE HEART OF YOUR SUMMER CULTURAL EXPERIENCE Every summer the Ljubljana Festival makes an important contribution to the cultural life of Ljubljana with a carefully selected programme covering a wide variety of genres. Today’s press conference in the Red Hall at Ljubljana Town Hall served to present this year’s 67th Ljubljana Festival, which will run from July until September. Once again the festival will feature ballet and opera performances, musicals, chamber and symphonic concerts, the International Fine Arts Colony, workshops for children and young people, the Ljubljana Festival on the Ljubljanica, and much more. Even before the official start of the festival, you will have the unique opportunity to hear Verdi’s Requiem conducted by the great Plácido Domingo, in his first appearance as a conductor in Slovenia. This pre-festival event will be followed at beginning of July by the most eagerly awaited cultural event of the year: the opening of the 67th Ljubljana Festival, which gets under way with Aida, one of the best known and most frequently performed operas not only of Verdi's oeuvre, but in the entire history of opera. Director Dražen Siriščević’s imaginative staging will make the most of the outdoor setting and the opera will include an appearance by thoroughbred Lipizzaner horses from the stud farm in Lipica. The events of the Ljubljana Festival take place throughout the summer and Slovenia’s capital will continue to welcome some of the biggest names in music – performers of worldwide renown – right up until September.

  • Chapter 5 Jože Plečnik, the Regulation of Ljubljana
    CHAPTER 5 JOŽE PLEČNIK, THE REGULATION OF LJUBLJANA – CLASSICAL MODERNISM 1928-1939 B W Davies Chapter 5 CHAPTER 5 Jože Plečnik, The Regulation of Ljubljana – Classical Modernism 1928-1939 The other major developments in architectural work and town and city planning in Central Europe are not to be found in the efforts of a large number of people but in the work of one man whose architectural oeuvre enriched firstly Prague and then Ljubljana. He was Jože Plečnik; Plečnik is the central figure in a forgotten chapter in the development of international modernism. The Slovene architect Jože Plečnik has become the central personality of a so far largely ignored development taking place behind the façade of functionalist slogans of theoreticians and prominent creative personalities of international modernism including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Alvar Aalto.1 Plečnik had for years remained largely unrecognised even though one of his works, Church of the Sacred Heart, first drawn in 1922 (5.1), arriving at a final design in 1927, dominates a square in Vinohrady, Prague – a robust building which can stand alone or be seen as a focus for Plečnik’s work especially in the inventiveness in the use of historical, regional and even local elements in new, original wholes, ranging from minute details, to major planning projects.2 Plečnik’s return to Slovenia from the Czechoslovak Republic was by no means certain for two reasons: in 1920 Plečnik was invited by Tomáš Mašaryk, President of the new Czechoslovak Republic, to be architect in chief in the remodelling and restoration of Hradcany (Prague Castle).

At a large lake in the marshes near the source of the Ljubljanica they stopped and disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. The lake was the dwelling place of a monster, which Jason fought, defeated and killed. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower depicted on the Ljubljana coat of arms.
