The Town Hall stands right in the historic center of Ljubljana, on the main city square. It is a magnificent architectural monument and one of the main tourist attractions in the Slovenian capital. The original project of the Town Hall was completed at the end of the 15th century. Initially, it was a vivid example of pure Gothic style. But later, at the beginning of the 18th century, the building underwent significant changes, inspired by the fashionable Baroque style. The luxurious Sgraffito-style elements of the Town Hall appeared thanks to the famous Italian architect Carlo Martinuzzi, who also created a fine building of the Seminary Palace in another city square. Besides, the Town Hall is richly decorated with many unique statues depicting mythological heroes, as well as the ancient map of the city dating back to the 17th century. It hangs directly above the central entrance gate, which leads visitors to one of the two charming courtyards. These courtyards in the center of the capital glorified the Town Hall far beyond Ljubljana.

The delightful arched courtyard houses a replica of the famous Baroque Narcissus fountain, one of the most famous works of the Venetian sculptor Francesco Robba. At first, the fountain adorned Bokalce Castle. But then it was brought here to become the hallmark of the Ljubljana Town Hall courtyard. A few years later, the fountain was replaced with a copy. Today, the world-famous original fountain of 1751 is kept in the National Gallery of Slovenia.

The arched courtyard also comprises a monument to an outstanding politician, the former mayor of Ljubljana, Ivan Hribar, who made a significant contribution to the city's restoration and modernization after the terrible earthquake at the end of the 19th century. In front of the old Town Hall, there is another famous work by maestro Francesco Robba, the Fountain of the Three Carniolan Rivers, dating back to the 18th century.
