Medieval Charm

Linhart's Square
Radovljica is a charming town on the Sava River, not far from the place where the Sava Dolinka joins the Sava Bohinjka. The town was 1st mentioned in 1510, almost 2 centuries after its Linhart's square (1343).

In the centre of old town, there's the memorial to famous Slovenian dramatist Anton Tomazh Linhart, a drinking fountain built in the memory of the town's benefactor Josipina Hocevarjeva (Yosipina Hochevaryeva), and also many lovely old houses from the 16th century, some of which turned into museums.

Visit the unique Shivec's house at 33 Linhart's square with its gallery and register office and baroque Thurn Castle that houses the museum of apiculture and a memorial exhibition dedicated to Linhart.
