The capital of Slovenia can boast a unique place - The Land of Ice (Ledena Dežela). Amazing ice sculptures, an ice bar, an ice rink, an ice slide - all this can be seen in the square next to another picturesque landmark of the capital - Kongresni Trg Park. The Univerza v Ljubljani built in 1919 in the classicist style is interesting from an architectural point of view. While on the subject of higher education institutions, it is worth noting that the University of Ljubljana was the only one in the country until 1978. Besides parks, the city has several other interesting places to walk. One of them is Žale Centralno Pokopališče, a cemetery where you can find many interesting sculptures making any walk enjoyable.
Among the many religious attractions, St. Nicholas' Cathedral stands out. The latter was built and designed by Andrea del Pozzo in the 18th century. Having replaced an older Romanesque-style church first mentioned in 1262, the present building is a masterpiece of baroque architecture. As is characteristic of all buildings in this style, the cathedral is striking not only with its magnificent appearance but also with rich interior decoration. An equally interesting monument of sacred architecture is Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church built in 1936 upon the project of Momir Korunović. The most interesting part of the temple is its interior, especially the beautiful frescoes adorning the walls. One shouldn't pass by Župnijska Cerkev sv.Trojice. Don't miss the opportunity to see the beautiful church from the inside.
