Franci Lazarini presents an in-depth study of the history, architecture, and urban significance of the square in front of the Ljubljana Courthouse, today known as Miklošič Park. The author focuses in particular on the pivotal role of the architect and urban planner Maks Fabiani (1865–1962) in the design of the square following the Ljubljana Easter earthquake of 1895. He also discusses the individual buildings surrounding the square, as well as its political and symbolic context, including the monuments to Emperor Franz Joseph I and Franc Miklošič, both of which testify to the process of Slovene national emancipation. Despite later alterations, the design of the square remains one of the key examples of Fabiani’s visionary urbanism and one of the central symbols of Secession-era Ljubljana. The book is dedicated to the 160th anniversary of Maks Fabiani’s birth.
