Ljubljana • Monuments & Statues
A tribute to Slovenia's greatest poet, located in one of Ljubljana's key squares.


This statue commemorates the ancient Roman citizens of Emona, Ljubljana's predecessor.
Located near Congress Square, the Statue of Emonan offers a nod to the city's Roman roots. Emona, the ancient Roman city that once stood where Ljubljana is today, is vividly brought to life through this sculpture. It depicts a Roman citizen, complete with traditional attire, serving as a tangible reminder of the city's two-millennia-old history. This connection to the past is emphasized by its proximity to the Roman wall remains, making it a fascinating stop for history buffs looking to delve deeper into Ljubljana's origins.
