Tivoli Park (Ljubljana)

Tivoli Park (Slovene: Park Tivoli) is the largest park in Ljubljana,[1][2] the capital of Slovenia. It is located on the outskirts of the Center district, stretching to the Šiška district to the north, the Vič district to the south, and the Rožnik district to the west. The park was laid out during the French imperial administration of Ljubljana in 1813 and named after the Parisian Jardins de Tivoli. In the 1920s, it was renovated by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, who designed the Jakopič Promenade that runs through the park, creating a linear visual axis going from Tivoli Castle through Cankar Street and Čop Street to Prešeren Square, over the Triple Bridge, and ending at Ljubljana Castle.[2] Several notable buildings stand in the park, among them Tivoli Castle, the National Museum of Contemporary History, and Tivoli Hall.[2]
