Republic Square (Ljubljana)

Republic Square or Square of the Republic (Trg republike), at first named Revolution Square, is the largest square in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It was designed in the second half of the 20th century by Edvard Ravnikar. Independence of Slovenia was declared here on 26 June 1991. The National Assembly Building stands at its northern side and Cankar Hall at the southern side. In the 2010s the square was converted from a parking space to a pedestrian space.
