Zois Palace

Zois Palace ( _sl. Zoisova palača) is a mansion in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

The mansion was built between 1765 and 1770 in the neoclassicist style. It served as residence of Baron Žiga Zois, a leading figure of Enlightenment in the Slovene Lands and supporter of the revival of Slovene culture and literature [ [http://www.ljubljana-tourism.si/en/sights/18_19th_centuries_ljubljana/zois_palace/ Ljubljana tourism] ] . Between the 1780s and the 1800s, the mansion was used as the venue of the Slovene intellectual élite, which included the playwright and historian Anton Tomaž Linhart, poet and journalist Valentin Vodnik, philologians Jurij Japelj and Blaž Kumerdej, and linguist Jernej Kopitar.

In the palace's yard stands an old fountain. Zois's tombstone is etched into the wall facing the yard.
