St. Michael's Church at Crna vas 48
The Church of St. Michael, built between 1937 and 1940 at Ljubljana Marshes, belongs among the architect Joze Plecnik's most original creations. It combines the features of Greek temples with those of the churches of the Slovenian Kras region, which are characterised by open belfries as part of their front fassades.

Trnovo Bridge at Karunova ulica 1
Trnovo Bridge, built between 1929 and 1932, was at the heart of Joze Plecnik's project of the Gradascica channel embankments' reconstruction. It was designed with respect to the features of the Trnovo Church (Trnovska cerkev) across the way from it: the Bridge forms an extension to the church square and the pyramids adorning it imitate the shape of the Church's spires.

Promenade along the Embankments and Bridges of the Ljubljanica River from Hradeckega bridge till Triple Bridge
Today, the Ljubljanica owes its distinctive appearance to the architect Joze Plecnik, who designed the old city centre's river embankments, landscaped tree-lined riverside walks, including the well known weeping willow-lined terraced walk alongside the Trnovski pristan embankment, and built or renovated several of the city's bridges, including the famous Trnovo Bridge, Cobblers' Bridge and Triple Bridge.

Green Promenade on Vegova ulica
Vega Street is historically and archeologically interesting because of its position at the junction of the Roman and medieval cities. It was built in the first half of the 19th century and runs along the former ditch, which was led along the outside of the walls of the medieval New Square. The walls are partly preserved and restored in front of the houses on the east side of Vega Street.

Roman Walls at Mirje 27
In the 1930s, the town wall complex in Mirje was restored to a design by the architect Joze Plecnik. His additions to the surviving Roman walls include a stone pyramid, upward extensions of the walls, the gates to the wall complex, an arched vault covered in stone remains from nearby Roman buildings, and a park inside the walls. Also the colonnade next to the main southern gate is of non-Roman origin.

Church of St. Francis of Assisi at Cernetova ulica 20
Joze Plecnik's unconventional design for the Church of St. Francis (Cerkev sv. Franciska), constructed between 1925 and 1927, is derived from his plans for the Church of the Sacred Heart in Prague, built in 1922. The central part of the church is covered with a gently sloping roof topped with a belfry added in 1931. The belfry has a distinctive shape dominated by two rows of pillars in its upper two storeys and a conic roof sloping up steeply.

Garden of All Saints at Med hmeljniki 2
1940 saw the completion of an unconventionally designed funeral home called Žale, which housed Ljubljana's first chapels of rest and was quite unlike any other funeral home of the time. Its name subsequently became the name of the entire cemetery complex.
