Linhart Square

Linhart Square is the historic heart of Radovljica, a charming medieval town in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Named after Anton Tomaž Linhart, a celebrated Slovenian playwright and historian, the square is a beautifully preserved example of traditional town planning, lined with pastel-colored facades, ornate doorways, and decorative wrought-iron details. As you stroll across the cobblestones, you’ll notice how the square gently slopes, providing lovely views of the surrounding rooftops and distant mountains.

The square is home to some of Radovljica’s most significant landmarks, including the imposing Radovljica Mansion, which now houses the town’s museum and the Museum of Apiculture—a nod to Slovenia’s rich beekeeping heritage. The Gothic parish church of St. Peter anchors one end of the square, while inviting cafés and artisan shops spill out onto the pavement, creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.

Throughout the year, Linhart Square hosts a variety of cultural events, from open-air concerts and food festivals to the renowned Chocolate Festival each spring. The square is entirely pedestrianized, making it a safe and pleasant place for families and visitors of all ages to explore. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply soaking up the local ambiance, Linhart Square offers a memorable window into the soul of Radovljica.
