You're standing at Ljubljana Castle, the Ljubljanski grad, on Castle Hill in the middle of the Slovenian capital. Take a look around. This hill has been a fortified place for a very long time. Excavations show there were fortifications here as early as Celtic and Illyrian times, and the Romans probably kept a military stronghold here too.
