Kranj, Historic city in Upper Carniola, Slovenia
Kranj stretches along the confluence of Kokra and Sava rivers, with medieval structures forming its skyline against the backdrop of Slovenian Alps.
The settlement transformed from Roman Carnium into a medieval town in 1256, becoming a center for trade, courts, and craft industries in Upper Carniola.
The Layer House, former residence of painter Leopold Layer, functions as an arts center with exhibitions, while Khislstein Castle hosts summer festivals.
The Tourist Information Center in the old town provides guidance for exploring underground tunnels, churches, and museums within walking distance.
A network of World War II tunnels extends 1300 meters beneath the city streets, serving as air-raid shelters during wartime conflicts.
