Ilirski steber, Memorial pillar in Revolution Square, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Illyrian Column stands 12 meters tall with bronze reliefs featuring sculptures of Illyria and Napoleon created by artist Lojze Dolinar in 1929.
The memorial commemorates the period from 1809 to 1813 when Ljubljana served as the capital of Napoleon's Illyrian Provinces, which included parts of Slovenia.
The stone obelisk contains verses by Slovenian poet Valentin Vodnik and represents the architectural vision of designer Jože Plečnik through its structural elements.
The monument sits at the intersection of Vegova Street and Rimska Road, with multiple public transportation options and pedestrian paths leading to the site.
A metal plaque near the memorial displays a dark engraving of a map showing the territorial boundaries of the Illyrian Provinces during Napoleonic rule.
