Congress Square, Central square in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Congress Square features multiple historical buildings, including the Baroque Ursuline Church, Casino Building, and University of Ljubljana rectorate facing its perimeter.
The square originated in 1821 on the site of a former Capuchin monastery and received its name from the ceremonial activities of the Congress of Ljubljana.
The central area contains Star Park, designed with intersecting pathways, surrounded by monuments and structures representing different architectural periods of Ljubljana.
Visitors can reach Congress Square through several public transportation routes and walking paths that connect to Ljubljana's main shopping and dining districts.
Former United States President Bill Clinton delivered a speech at this location in 1999, reciting verses from the Slovenian national anthem.
