Old Town Hall (Škofja Loka)

 historical building  Add category

The front must have had a lot of paintings but large parts are missing. A vaulted passage, painted in white leads to an inner yard. - The small inner yard, framed with superb arcades on three levels. The columns are not plain cylinders but subtilely wider at mid height. Though I had wide angle lens, I was unable to take a photo of the whole yard and had to take several of them. I show here the most significant. The yard is outstanding, with plenty of flowers hanging. - - It was the former town hall, built in the XVIth. The entrance and the passage leading to the yard are in Gothic style while the courtyard with its arcades are in Renaissance style. Unfortunately, the baroque frescoes on the front, with flowers and human figures are not in good condition. The house was restored in 1972.
