Šiška

Šiška

Audio|Siska.ogg|Šiška is the most populous of the city quarters of Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. Its most eminent historical monument is the ancient church of St. Bartholomew (Slov. sv. Jernej), built in the 13th century at the site of an ancient Roman cemetery, on the outskirts of the Roman castrum of Colonia Iulia Aemona (or Emona). In October of 1372, an agreement between Venice and Austria, by which the city of Triest was ceded to Austria, was signed in the porch of the church. After being severely damaged by fire in 1895, the church was remodelled in 1933–1936 by the famous Slovene architect Jože Plečnik (who took special care to preserve intact the old linden tree standing beside the church, witness the carefully cut-out overhang of the porch roof).

Jože Plečnik is also the author of the most notable artistic and sacral monument of Šiška, the church of St. Francis of Assisi, built in the 1930s.
