Review:

The landmark Ljubljana Castle is strategically set on high ground within the city limits, in the crook of the Ljubljanica River. It is the most visited attraction in the city and one of the its symbols. A funicular transports visitors from the old town to the castle in 60 seconds. The castle started as a medieval fortress in the 11th century. Over the next 700 years the complex of buildings was rebuilt, overhauled and extended. It was once the seat of the Lords of Carniola and has also been used as a military hospital, prison, barracks and a home for the indigent. It is the venue for several festivities, including Holy Mass on Christmas Eve.
