Come to the middle of the circle in the pavement. Feel how every street flows toward you? That is no accident — I willed it so. When I came home from Vienna and Prague, they told me Ljubljana was too small for big ideas. So I imagined the whole city as one sacred living room, and this square is its threshold. Up there in bronze, the poet France Prešeren gazes toward the window of his Julija — a love he never won, carved into eternity. Turn once around your own axis. Everything you see is stage scenery; the true axis begins under your soles and runs straight to the river. Follow it — I’ll show you how I made three bridges out of one.
That was stop 1 of 6.
Stop 1 is free in the walking player. The other 5 — The Triple Bridge to Križanke — unlock together.
