LJUBLJANA

Ljubljana is a charming old city full of artists, museums, and galleries. The Ljubljanica river flows through the centre of town, past Baroque buildings and under the ramparts of the ancient castle on the hill.

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia, which itself is a member of the European Union. The population of Slovenia is approximately 2,108.000, while the population of Ljubljana is about 300.000.

The development of Ljubljana dates back to Roman times, where the fortified Roman settlement laid on the area of today’s Ljubljana. Roman name for Ljubljana was Emona. After Emona was destroyed by Huns, Slavs had arrived and built a town under the present castle hill, that developed into medieval Ljubljana.
