This square is like the heart of the old town, surrounded by town houses with their wonderful portals.<\/h3>\n

The present shape of the town centre developed in the 16th and 17th centuries, when the bourgeois architecture reached its aesthetic peak. The fountain in the northern part of the square is a reconstruction of the fountain from 1837 and it stands in the same spot as the first fountain from the 16th century.<\/p>\n

Some important buildings can be found in the main square, among them the Pav\u0161lar House where the Gallery of the Pre\u0161eren Prize Laureates<\/a> is located, the Town Hall<\/a> with its museum and gallery, the St. Kancijan’s Church<\/a> and the Pre\u0161eren Theatre Kranj<\/a>, to mention only some of them.<\/p>\n
