Built in the 18th century as villa for the local Jesuit hierarchy, Tivoli Mansion stands at the top of a stone staricase guarded by sculptures of fierce looking dogs. The mansion subsequently served as the summer residence of the Ljubljana archbishops before it was presented in 1852 to the 86-year-old hero of Habsburg military campaigns, Field Marshal Josef Radetzky.

Radetzky was a much-loved symbol of Austrian patriotism, as status imortalized by Johann Strauss the Elder’s famous tune Radetzkymarsch.

The mansion now houses the International  Graphic Arts Centre (Mednarodni graficni likvni centre). *
