The landmarks of Ljubljana, designed by the world-renowned architect Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik (1972-1957), have been recently included in the UNESCO World’s heritage list. The recognition coincides with continous efforts of Ljubljana Tourism to promote Ple\u010dnik\u2019s rich life and legacy to a wider audience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) recognised seven Ple\u010dnik\u2019s works in Ljubljana, including the Triple Bridge (Tromostovje), Congress Square (Kongresni trg), and \u017dale Cemetery,\u00a0\u00a0as an exceptional example of urban space design reflecting architect\u2019s deeply human vision, which transformed a former empire\u2019s provincial town into a symbolic capital of a nation. \u00bbThe architect Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik contributed to this transformation with his personal, profoundly human vision for the city, based on an architectural dialogue with the older city while serving the needs of emerging modern 20th century society,\u00ab UNESCO commented on the occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision reaffirms Ljubljana\u2019s continuous efforts in bringing Ple\u010dnik\u2019s heritage closer to both Slovenians and the international public, as well as to attract potentially new leisure and business visitors with an affinity for cultural heritage and boutique experiences.\u00a0In the recent years, several projects by Ljubljana Tourism have been implemented in order to promote Ple\u010dnik\u2019s legacy and commemorate his 150th birth anniversary in 2022.\u00a0<\/a>The internationally awarded Moustache Tour explores the lives of three famous Slovenian artists, architect Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik, writer Ivan Cankar and painter Rihard Jakopi\u010d, while the walking tour Ple\u010dnik at First Glance and Ple\u010dnik Cycling Route has long been within the most popular Ljubljana tours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the newest projects are boutique tourist products focusing on fresh, innovative and often surprising ways of showcasing the trailblazing talent of architect Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik to their target audiences.\u00a0Ple\u010dnik’s visions<\/em>\u00a0is a free self-guided audio tour and gamified experience which \u2013 with the help of a mobile app – aims to uncover the ambitious yet unrealized Ple\u010dnik’s city projects, from the Cathedral of Freedom, the artist’s vision of the Slovenian parliament to unrealized covered Butcher’s bridge that would conclude Ljubljana’s Central market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ple\u010dnik master builder <\/em>is a boutique experience which allows you to discover the true spirit of architect’s genius. In a small group, participants will explore spaces and objects that were an important part of the master\u2019s everyday life – from playful street lamps, tasting his favorite coffee, lessons in his office, to the room where he worked and slept. Guided tour with the help of special animations of the center of Ljubljana offers a complete journey in the footsteps of Ple\u010dnik’s plans and visions, both on land and on the river. It also gives a special insight into his achievements, the history of Ljubljana, and his great vision and countless interesting architectural details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
