Introducing Radovljica
A charming town full of historic buildings, Radovljica enjoys an enviable position atop an outcrop 75m above a wide plain called the Dežela, literally ‘Country’ in Slovene.

Radovljica was settled by the early Slavs and grew into an important market town by the early 14th century. With increased trade on the river and the iron forgeries at nearby Kropa and Kamna Gorica, Radovljica expanded. The town was built around a large rectangular square fortified with a wall and defence towers. Radovljica’s affluence in the Middle Ages can be seen in the lovely buildings still lining Linhartov trg today.
