the biggest park in one of the smallest countries

Join me on a walk through a lovely park called Tivoli city park. It is situated in a lovely green part of a capital of Slovenia called Ljubljana.

History

I often walk through the park, but I haven't knew how it all started. Let me open Wikipedia and we can learn together. Here is what it says:

Tivoli Park was laid out upon the plans by the engineer Jean Blanchard in 1813, when Ljubljana was the capital of the French Illyrian Provinces. He joined two existing parks, around Tivoli Castle and around Cekin Mansion, and linked them to the Ljubljana downtown.The park was named in the second half of the 19th century.

It's a protected park

Sitting on a bench here you can enjoy in the sounds of the birds. Here is why:

Since 1984, the park has been protected as part of Tivoli–Rožnik Hill–Šiška Hill Nature Park. It is home to a variety of bird species.

Socialism arhitecture

As Ljubljana and Slovenia was part of Jugoslavia, you can spot many different elements from that time.

My attention was caught by this fountain and the street lamps. This takes my memories into the past when communism and socialism ruled over our country.

I hope you enjoyed travelling with me. Let me know if my photos inspired you to visit this gem.

Enjoy
