Description
Backlit view of Robba Fountain and Mestni Trg, also known as the Fountain of Three Carniolan Rivers, with the sunburst from behind the tower. It sits in the old town square (Mestni Trg) in front of the town hall. Built in 1751, this famous fountain is named after its creator, the Italian Baroque sculptor Francesco Robba (1698-1757). The pool is in the shape of a three leaf clover and from it rises a three sided obilisk. The fountain is adorned with the statues of the three river Gods: Krka, Ljubljanica and Sava, also the names of three of Slovenia's main rivers. The original has been removed and placed in a museum for protection, due to its fragile nature, and has been replaced with a replica.
