The Town Square, once the heart of medieval Ljubljana, is today renowned for the Town Hall and the Robba Fountain (the Fountain of the Three Carniolan Rivers), erected between 1743 and 1751 by the Baroque artist Francesco Robba. The Town Hall, built in the late 15th century, has largely retained its Baroque appearance. Regular guided tours of the Town Hall are available.

The Botanical Garden or 'Botanique' is steeped in history. From the Middle Ages this green oasis was the garden of the former 'commanderij van Pitzemburg', order of knights. After its abolition, in the nineteenth century the garden was turned into an English landscape garden for members of the elitist Société Royale d'Horticulture. After the First World War it opened to the public as a municipal park. In the middle of the Botanical Garden is a statue of the celebrated scientist Rembert Dodoens. In the sixteenth century he wrote a highly acclaimed herbal called the 'Cruydenboek'. These days the Botanical Garden is a quiet and very pleasant park where you can enjoy the plant life while the children let off steam in the playground.
