Ljubljana is the capital and largest city of Slovenia.
The Ljubljana Central Market was designed by Jože Plečnik in 1931–1939. The market building stretches between the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge, on the right side of the curve of the Ljubljanica River.
The present market building, designed by the architect Jože Plečnik, was built between 1940 and 1942 by Matko Curk's company.
The design of the complex reflects Renaissance influences. It was conceived as a two-storey market hall following the curve of the river. On the side overlooking the river the market halls have large semi-circular windows, while the street side is defined by a colonnade. In order to provide views of the river, the building is interrupted with two open-columned loggias. The roof is covered with massive concrete tiles.
Plečnik planned to fill the middle gap between the market halls with a monumental covered bridge to connect to the Petkovšek Embankment, but his design was never built.
