Ljubljana castle tower

Ljubljana castle overlooks the city from a hill at its centre across an otherwise quite flat landscape until you hit the mountains. The castle itself serves no administrative function and for a hundred years has been pretty much a cultural institute since it was bought for the city by a rich Slovenian after being owned by countless empires over the years, including the Czechs. So the space inside is very much designed as a visual exhibit displaying the history of Ljubljana as well as numerous conference rooms and performance spaces. The tallest tower offers a fantastic 360 degree open view of the countryside and given how small this country is I suspect you can see a good chunk of it from here.
