Architect Joze Plecnik is largely responsible for the city of Ljubljana being as neat and well-planned as it is, with his insistence on classical lines and uniform dimensions. The renowned architect's home and studio, furnished and equipped as he left it, is open to the public a few days a week. His influence is, however, everywhere to be admired in the city at sites like the wide Shoemaker's Bridge and the colonnaded market beside the river.
