9th Castle Days

Guided Tour of the Exhibition Mighty Guardians of the Past – for adults

18. May from 13:00, Casemate, Ljubljana Castle

We speak of Slovenia as a land of castles, although nobody actually knows precisely how many castle buildings once stood and how many fell to ruin in difficult times. However, one thing is certain: Slovenian castles are an invaluable treasure of our country and represent cultural heritage of great importance.

On the guided tour of the exhibition Mighty Guardians of the Gast: Castles in the Slovenian Lands, castle guides will present the rise and fall of castles in the Slovenian lands, with an emphasis on the five castles that are highlighted in the exhibition. You will get to know the many stories and legends that emerged behind castle walls, some of them heroic, others romantic, and still others with a tragic ending. Exactly which story and which castle is your favourite we leave entirely to your own imagination.

Gathering Point: The bridge in front of the main entrance.

The number of places is limited. Free tickets will be available at Ljubljana Castle sales points and the lower funicular station on Krek Square (Krekov trg) from 13 May 2019 until all of the places are taken. Each individual can take up to four free tickets.

We recommend using the funicular railway to attend the guided tour. For the duration of the Castle Days, there will be a uniform discounted price for a return ticket for the funicular.
