Ljubljana’s most prominent landmark, Ljubljana Castle, truly belongs to the people of the city. This is thanks to Ivan Hribar, the former Mayor of Ljubljana, who on 16 May 1905 purchased the castle in the name of the city from the state. Commemorating this significant moment in the history of the castle and providing yet another great reason to walk or take the funicular up the hill, are the Castle Days festivities. There's a packed three-day programme of events for the whole family including castle tours, cultural performance and workshops.
