Robba Fountain

Robba's Fountain / Robbov vodnjak of Ljubljana
FOUNTAIN OF THE THREE CARNIVORIANS RIVERS - THE ROBBA FOUNTAIN
The Fountain of the Three Carniola Rivers on the edge of the Town Square (Mestni trg), also known as the "Robba's Fountain", is one of the most famous Baroque monuments in Ljubljana. It was created in 1743-51 by the Venetian sculptor and architect Francesco Robba (1698-1757). The artist from Venice spent most of his life in Ljubljana and is considered the best stone master of Ljubljana's Baroque period.
The fountain was modeled on famous Roman fountains. The three figures of river gods on the fountain probably symbolize three rivers of Carniola: Sava, Ljubljanica and Krka. In plan, the fountain has the shape of a trefoil or old city seal. The fountain was Robba's last work in the city. After the fountain was completed, the artist, who had become impoverished by then, moved to Zagreb.

In front of the town hall stands one of the most representative monuments of Ljubljana, the fountains of the Krainer rivers (three dolphins and watermen symbolize the Rivers Save, Krka and Ljubljanica), created in 1751 by Francesco Robba, the great master of the Ljubljana sculptor workshop of the first half of the 18th century. c.

Before entering the entrance, admire the Robba Fountain, also known as the Fountain of Three Krain Rivers, in the town square, aka 'Mestni trg'. This Baroque monument by the 18th-century Venetian sculptor Francesco Robba features ornate carvings of three river gods. In summer you can watch local musicians perform on the steps in front of the building or hear trumpets blaring from the balcony. These performances are reminiscent of earlier centuries, when the city's first trumpeters played ceremonial brass bands on important occasions.
