OPEN-AIR THEATRE
Križanke occupies the site of a former 13th-century monastery complex that originally belonged to the German Order of the Knights of the Cross and was renovated through the years by a number of Renaissance architects. Between 1952 and 1956 Križanke was entrusted to the hands of Jože Plečnik, whose modern approach to architecture had left a significant mark in the centre of Ljubljana already in the 1920s and 1930s. Plečnik created a unique setting for arts events; Anton Bitenc and Viktor Molk continued his work, transforming the monastery gardens into an open-air summer theatre. Thus, Ljubljana acquired a unique theatre boasting excellent acoustics in the very heart of the city.
