RESMAN, Blaž: The Role of Monasteries in the Urbanistic Image of Towns – the Case of Ljubljana

The contribution deals with the material side of the town-forming role of monasteries, i. e. the significance of their architecture for the development and the present-day image of Ljubljana. It focuses on the site of monasteries in view of the urbanistic situation in the time of their formation, on their meaning for the further evolution of the town image and their urbanistic heritage in the modern Ljubljana. Monasteries (Teutonic Knights, Franciscans) importantly co-shaped already the medieval town, and in the further development even larger baroque monastic settlements were incorporated into the urban tissue (Jesuits, Capuchins, Poor Clares, Augustinians, Discalced Augustinians, Ursulines). Of the former eight monasteries in the historical centre of Ljubljana only three survive, but even all the lost ones have left a significant mark in the urbanistic structure of the town.

MUROVEC, Barbara: Giulio Quaglio in Slovenia. Il Trionfo politico-religioso nella Cattedrale di Lubiana : L'Arte di Giulio Quaglio, Udine

The lecture is an attempt to present the frescoes in Ljubljana Cathedral from the aspects of iconography and cultural history. Within the otherwise rather schematic design which includes all of the usual Baroque iconographic arsenal the continuing depiction of the martyrdoms appears extremely drastic and bloody, which can be understood as the response of the patrons to the recent events in the empire, to Turkish invasions and the siege of Vienna in 1683. The concept is by far more strongly related than has been established in the hitherto literature to the most topical events.
