Trg francoske revolucije square

 Trg francoske revolucije (French Revolution Square) was built in 1793. Originally it was named Križniški trg (Knights of the Cross Square) after a German crusading religious and military order of knights who settled on its site in the 13th century. In 1929, a monument to Napoleon's Illyrian Provinces was raised in the middle of the square to a design by the architect Jože Plečnik and the sculptor Lojze Dolinar. The monument consists of a stone column with two bronze portrait reliefs, one depicting Napoleon and the other the female face of Illyria, a plaque displaying verses by the Slovenian poets Valentin Vodnik and Oton Župančič, and the old coat of arms of Slovenia on top of the column. The square is also the site of a monument to the Slovenian poet Simon Gregorčič. The poet's bronze portrait statue was sculpted by Zdenko Kalin in 1937.

One side of the square is lined by the Križanke Summer Theatre, a former monastery complex of the Knights of the Cross redesigned by Jože Plečnik between 1952 and 1956. The Theatre complex, managed by the Festival Ljubljana event management company, incorporates the famous Baroque Church of Our Lady of Mercy (Cerkev Marije Pomočnice), built in 1714, Ljubljana's secondary school of design and a small restaurant. Its most important venue is an outdoor summer theatre seating 1,400 people.

The lower end of the square is lined by Auersperg Palace (Turjaška palača), once owned by the House of Auersperg, dukes of Carniola. The Palace, now housing the City Museum of Ljubljana, was built from a number of older houses in 1642 and renovated several times since. Its front façade, adorned with pilasters and a classical entrance portal, hides an arched Baroque courtyard. In 2004, the building was completely restored and turned into a modern museum to a design by Špela Videčnik and Rok Oman.
