Ljubljanica river.
Kresija Palace (Slovene: Kresijska palača) is a palace in central Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
Located on the banks of the Ljubljanica River around Tromostovje bridge, the palace is noted for its Neobaroque and Neo-rococo style and structure.[1] It was built after the Ljubljana earthquake in 1895 to house the bureaucracy of the Ljubljana district of the Duchy of Carniola. The name of the palace comes from the old Slovenian word kresija, which was used as common colloquial name for the Austrian districts, known as Kreise in German (okraji in standard Slovene). It was commissioned by the mayor Ivan Hribar, as part of the larger plan of urban renovation of Ljubljana.
