Monsignor Anton Slabe, Seminary Head

Built in 1701 and richly decorated in Baroque style, the Seminary Library was the first public library in Ljubljana. It contains a valuable old ecclesiastic and secular book collection, including numerous precious manuscripts and prints. Its wooden fixtures and fittings were carved in the local workshop of Josip Wer and its frescoes were created by the Italian Baroque painter Giulio Quaglio between 1721 and 1723.
