Prešernov Trg
The 17th-century Italian family that erected the fountain in Prešernov trg, 200m to the
southeast, was named Da Ponte; thus it is shaped like a bridge ( ponte in Italian). At the
southern end is the Muda Gate (Vrata Muda) . Erected in 1516, it's the last of a dozen
such entrances to remain standing. On the south side of the archway you'll see the city
symbol: the face of a youth in a sunburst.
