Medieval Ljubljana
Remarkable discoveries, shifting the beginnings of medieval Ljubljana back to circa 1000 AD.
Recent archaeological research undertaken in the centre of Ljubljana has provided answers to many a question regarding its urban development in the Middle Ages.
The focus of the exhibition is on the discoveries made during recent archaeological excavations, which have resulted in the milestones of the historiography of Ljubljana being shifted back. Thus, with the discovery of a wooden pot in Stritarjeva Street, the origins of Ljubljana are moved back to the early 11th century. The leather products uncovered in what is today Krojaška Street bear witness to the early urbanisation of Ljubljana on the right bank of the Ljubljanica River.

In the Middle Ages, knights mostly belonged to the gentry. They served their feudal lord and in return for payment (or land) did military service and performed other tasks as well.
