About
Jože Plečnik took an existing 1842 bridge and in 1932 added two flanking footbridges with balustrades and stairs down to the river, turning a crossing into a public square. It is the single best introduction to what he did to Ljubljana: he treated the whole river as one architectural composition. The works of Plečnik in Ljubljana were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021.
