Why Go
The square is named for France Prešeren, whose poem became Slovenia's national anthem; his statue gazes toward a house across the square where his muse, Julija, once lived.
Plečnik added two footbridges beside the old stone bridge in the 1930s to make the Triple Bridge, the gateway to the Old Town.
