Mestna hiša

The Town Hall (Mestna hiša) is one of the most important cultural monuments in Slovenia. It's in fact two buildings in one; one from the 16th century and the other from the 17th century. The ground floor of the older part's used for temporary art and museum displays.

On the main square, right in front of the Town Hall, there's a Carniolan communal well whose top's adorned with a gilded ball and an eagle that symbolizes the City of Kranj.

St Kancijan, one of Slovenia's 1st parish churches, is a monument of Gothic design completed in 1491.

There are other churches nearby, as well, such as the Rozenvenska (Rosery) Church and the St Sebastian and Rok Churches that also add to the beauty of the town centre.
