Overview

The Master Plečnik experience provides insight into the heritage of Jože Plečnik's soul. In small groups, you will explore the places and objects that formed an important part of the master architect's everyday life, from the playful streetlamps, his favorite coffee, and a private lesson in his office, to the room in which he worked and slept.

This is a comprehensive journey along the traces of Plečnik's plans and visions, both on land and water. On foot and accompanied by your guide, you’ll get to know, piece by piece, one of Europe's greatest twentieth-century architects who bestowed eternal beauty and charm on Ljubljana.

    What To Expect

    Plecnik's Covered Market

    Ljubljana's Central Market is more than just a place to shop. Traditionally, it has also been a place for the locals to meet and enjoy themselves together. The Central Market consists of an open-air market, located in the Vodnikov trg and Pogačarnev trg squares, a covered market situated in between the two squares, and a series of small food shops along the river Ljubljanica, which are referred to as 'Plečnik's Covered Market' as they are located in a colonnade designed by Ljubljana's famous architect Jože Plečnik. The Central Market offer is supplemented by catering establishments and street-food kiosks.

    Triple Bridge (Tromostovje)

    The center of the three bridges forming the Triple Bridge has stood in its place since 1842 when it replaced an old, strategically important medieval wooden bridge connecting the north-western European lands with south-eastern Europe and the Balkans. Between 1929 and 1932, the side bridges, intended for pedestrians, were added to the original stone bridge to a design by the architect Jože Plečnik, who thus created a unique architectural gem of Ljubljana.

    Monastery of the Holy Cross Summer Theater (Krizanke Poletno Gledalisce)

    The Križanke Summer Theatre is one of Ljubljana's principal architectural attractions. Between 1952 and 1956, the architect Jože Plečnik converted this former monastery of the Teutonic Order, originally built in the thirteenth century, into one of the city’s main cultural venues. The conversion of the Križanke complex was Plečnik’s last project. It also marked the completion of his extensive restyling of French Revolution Square (Trg francoske revolucije) and nearby Vegova Ulica. A monument to Napoleon’s Illyrian Provinces, designed by the sculptor Lojze Dolinar, was erected in the square next to Križanke in 1929. Plečnik followed Renaissance principles in his approach to the Križanke complex. A row of windows in the monastery wall offered a view into the interior. Other solutions include an original paving design and numerous lights on the courtyard walls.

    Levstikov trg Square

    The Levstikov trg square was laid out by the architect Jože Plečnik between 1926 and 1927, at the time when it was still called Šentjakobski trg. Plečnik had a line of poplars planted to separate the immediate vicinity of the Church of St. James (Cerkev sv. Jakoba) from the rest of the square, previously occupied by a Jesuit monastery that burnt down in 1774. Plečnik landscaped a small park surrounded by a row of stone balls and a line of round-crowned maple trees.The square is the site of St. Mary's Column (Marijin steber), topped by a statue of the Virgin cast between 1681 and 1682 by the Salzburg-based artist Wolf Weisskirchner. In 1938, the column was replaced by a new one designed by Jože Plečnik and the square's Baroque stone fountain was moved to the border between the square's austerely designed part and the part planted with trees, symbolizing nature.

    Trnovo Bridge

    Trnovo Bridge, built between 1929 and 1932, was at the heart of Jože Plečnik's project of the Gradaščica channel embankments' reconstruction. It was designed with respect to the features of the Trnovo Church (Trnovska cerkev) across the way from it: the Bridge forms an extension to the church square and the pyramids adorning it imitates the shape of the Church's spires.Trnovo Bridge's other adornments include massive balustrades, two rows of short columns, and Nikolaj Pirnat's stone statue of St. John the Baptist, the patron of the Trnovo Church. The Bridge's most remarkable decorative element are two rows of birch trees planted into the bridge. At the sides, the Bridge is covered with roughly finished stone blocks. On the end facing the suburb of Krakovo, there is a stone plaque carrying the name "Krakovo", and on the end facing the suburb of Trnovo a plaque saying "Trnovo"

    Plecnik House

    Plečnik House comprises a complex of two neighboring houses and an adjacent garden with a lapidary, which, along with Plečnik's original furniture, library, drawing tools, personal belongings, and a large archive of sketches, plans, photographs, and models all form part of the Plečnik Collection. When Plečnik returned to Ljubljana in 1921, he and his two brothers and a sister decided to live together, so the architect built a cylindrical annex to the house (1925). Later he added a glassed porch and, after purchasing an older suburban house next door, a conservatory (1930). Despite the agreement between the siblings to live together, only the architect's brother Janez lived in the house for a while. When he moved out, Plečnik refurbished the house to make it suit his own requirements. The refurbishment and extension work to the two houses were often done using leftover materials from Plečnik's other projects.
