10 Churches & Cathedrals in Ljubljana That You Shouldn't Miss

November 13, 2021 Osvaldo Hartline

Slovenia, wedged between Austria and Italy, has always been proud of its unique heritage. The capital, Ljubljana, is a perfect example of this blend of German, Mediterranean, and Slovenian culture. The old town is a blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau buildings, watched over by a medieval castle. Cut through the gardens of Tivoli Park to the National Museum of Contemporary History for a history of modern Slovenia, featuring crumbled statues of Stalin and a recreation of a WWI trench.

Church of St. Michael

Reviewed By Subix - Ljubljana, Slovenia

Very unique church. Build for small bucks on hard terrain (bog). Unwanted by locals but still build. Masterpiece by architect Plečnik. True landmark missed by majority. Three things are bad: 1. Not close to center of Ljubljana 2. Hardly ever opend for public to see interior 3. Not allowed to take photos without permission of the owner (who cares really?)

2. Sts. Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Church

Sts. Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Church

Reviewed By NoPegasus - Silver Spring, United States

A couple of blocks from the U.S. embassy and a ten minute walk from the heart of old town, this Orthodox church welcomes visitors into an artistic experience like no other. Numerous visitors of the faith came while we were there and showed appropriate reverence for the spiritual importance of the setting and artifacts. We enjoyed the brief visit and were surprised at how difficult it was to find information about it online. If you're wandering over to Tivoli Gardens, add this as a stop coming or going.

Ursuline Church of the Holy Trinity

Reviewed By wintersson - Noosa, Australia

I usually avoid churches these days as they all tend to look the same but this one gabed my attention for its very unusual architecture. Inside it does look like a Catholic church in Europe with its ornate interior and artworks. Outside it could look like an Art Nouveau office building! Close to Congress square which has underground parking. Worthy of exploration here and the square.
