Church of St. Petra – Ljubljana

Church of St. Petra is the parish church of the former Ljubljana Parish and the present Parish of Ljubljana – Sv. Peter. It stands at the end of Trubar Road, opposite Croatian Square, in the immediate vicinity of the Clinical Center. The present-day church was added in 1731 to the site of the older church from 1358, but may also be older. The first mention of the church of Šempeter and the parish priest dates back to 1163. It is also mentioned in written sources on February 23, 1262. On October 7, 1262 the church became a parish. Around the church there was also a cemetery for all the dead in Ljubljana and the surrounding area. In 1472 it was burned by the Turks, as can be seen from the inscription at the entrance. The church has been rebuilt several times.

  1. amazing and loving pictures my friend! nearly a 1000 years old. wow!

    I do have to ask, are you the one that wrote the notes about the church in 1262 (I am kidding) 😉

    • Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Ileana….it has undergone quite a bit of renovation during this time and is very well preserved and maintained … obviously has a good pastor

  2. A stunning beautiful and elegant yet simple church. Is it a Greek Orthodox church if I may ask? I just love the paintings decorating this white washed church… very pretty…

    • Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Grace….The church is nearly 800 years old and has undergone quite a few adaptations during that time
