What people say

"Though not the absolute oldest, Novi trg ranks among the top three oldest squares in Ljubljana, with its origins dating back to the 13th century. Historical records mention it as early as that period. Remnants of the city walls that once encircled Ljubljana can still be seen in the square, offering a tangible connection to the city's medieval past.The square's layout has undergone some changes over the centuries. The devastating 1895 earthquake altered its form, transforming it from an enclosed space bordered by city gates to the open square we see today. Except for Sundays, Novi trg transforms into a lively marketplace. Local vendors showcase fresh produce, flowers, and handcrafted goods, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Several cafes and restaurants line the square, offering a delightful spot to relax, people-watch, and savor a coffee or a meal while soaking up the atmosphere.Throughout the year, Novi trg becomes a stage for various events, from local festivals to cultural celebrations. This adds to the square's dynamic character."

"Novi trg is one of the oldest squares in Ljubljana. It's a long space, running west to east, with buildings (originally wood, now brick) on the north and south sides. The Crusaders first used this area in the 13th century. Medieval Ljubljana, part of the Ljubljana ghetto, and, eventually, beautiful palaces followed. A fountain now stands at the end."
