Maribor In Your Pocket - Maribor Castle
It doesn't look much like a castle in the traditional sense - more like a rather grand administrative building - but this is largely due to the fact that it has gone through more than its fair share of modifications since the original Gothic structure was built in 1555 as a noble residence. Renaissance-style fortifications were added in the 17th century, along with the southern façade, and the 18th century saw the current staircase installed. Now, it is home to the Regional Museum of Maribor, which boasts an impressive collection of artifacts from around the area. Admission €3/2/0.85 for adults/students/children.

pictures Ambassador Dr Balažic - Australian Ralph Churches Slovenian Golden Emblem Award
The Slovenian Ambassador to Australia Dr. Milan Balažic presented Ralph Churches a Golden Emblem Award on behalf of the Federation of WWII Veterans of Slovenia.
Ralph Churches as a captured Australian soldier organised a mass escape from a Nazi German prisoner-of-war camp in Maribor, Slovenia, during WWII with the assistance from Slovenian freedom fighters. The camp consisted of about 100 Australian, New Zealand and British PoW's.
Ralph's heroic endeavour ranks as one of the largest and most successful escapes of WWII, and without a drop of blood being spilled.
A Hundred Miles As The Crow Flies is a book written by Ralph about his great escape to freedom. The book has been translated into Slovenian and it is called Vranov let v svobodo. A Hollywood movie in the making!
Ralph was born on November 22, 1917, in Lameroo, about 200 kms east of Adelaide, South Australia.
Ralph and his wife Bronte celebrated 70 years of Marriage in June 2010.

#1 - Sant' Antonio Taumaturgo
The church of Sant'Antonio Taumaturgo (commonly called the church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo ), is the main religious building of the Borgo Teresiano and of the center of Trieste [1] .
The project of the church dates back to 1808 , but work began only in 1825 . The facade of the building is characterized by six Ionic columns . Still on the main façade, in the attic, there are six statues sculpted by Francesco Bosa in 1842 , depicting Saint Giusto , Saint Sergius , Saint Servolo , Saint Mauro, Saint Eufemia and Saint Tecla. The church is located in the square of the same name, near the Canale Grande .
#2 Temple of Holy Trinity
The Orthodox community in Trieste was established in 1748 but it wasn't until 1751 when Empress Maria Theresa allowed free practice of religion for Orthodox Christians, this prompted immigration of Serbian traders from Herceg Novi, Trebinje and Sarajevo to Trieste.[1] In 1781, the community split into two. The first was Greek community and second, from which there is today's Serbian parish, was the community which embraced the Orthodox South Slavic nations.[1] From 1994[2] up to administrative changes within the dioceses of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the parish in Trieste fell within the Metropolitanate of Zagreb and Ljubljana. Since 2011, it is under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Austria and Switzerland.
Emilio Bisi produced sculptures for the facade.

#3 Della Borsa Square
Piazza della Borsa is one of the main squares of Trieste. Also known as the second city square parlor has been the economic centre of the city throughout the 19th century.
Its present name derives from an obvious name due to the mansion built in 1806 by architect Antonio maceratese Mollari to accommodate the activities of stock traders. This building, which distinguishes the square which is one of the most important examples of neoclassical monuments in Trieste, is currently home of the Camera di commercio, industria, artigianato e agricoltura di Trieste, and is also called the old Bag.
In front of the Palace of the Chamber of Commerce a column supporting the stone figure of an emperor. Is the column of Leopold I of Austria whose son, Charles VI, established in Trieste porto franco.
#5 Trieste Roman Theater
Trieste's Roman theater is located in Trieste at the foot of the San Giusto hill , right in the center of the city, on the edge of the old city, between Via Donota and Via del Teatro Romano.
At the time of its construction, the theater was outside the city walls and by the sea, which at that time reached as far as that area. On its steps, built also taking advantage of the natural slope of the hill, from 3,500 to 6,000 spectators could be accommodated, depending on the various sources. The construction of the theater dates back to the end of the 1st century BC and was extended at the beginning of the 2nd century AD Probably it was built by the Trieste Quinto Petronio Modesto , procurator and bells of the emperor Trajan , mentioned in several inscriptions, which according to other sources instead he only took care of renovation work.
Over the centuries the theater was then hidden by the houses that rose above it. Considered lost, it was identified in 1814 by the architect Pietro Nobile , but only in 1938 it was brought to light during the demolition of a part of the old city. The statues and inscriptions found in the excavations are kept at the Lapidario Tergestino at the Castello di san Giusto at the Civico Museo del Castello. Nowadays it is still used occasionally for outdoor summer shows.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Ljubljana (Slovene: [ljuˈbljàːna] (listen), locally also [luˈblàːna]; also known by other, historical names) is the capital and largest city of Slovenia. It has been the cultural, educational, economic, political, and administrative centre of independent Slovenia since 1991.
During antiquity, a Roman city called Emona stood in the area. Ljubljana itself was first mentioned in the first half of the 12th century. Situated at the middle of a trade route between the northern Adriatic Sea and the Danube region, it was the historical capital of Carniola, one of the Slovene-inhabited parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was under Habsburg rule from the Middle Ages until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. After World War II, Ljubljana became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It retained this status until Slovenia became independent in 1991 and Ljubljana became the capital of the newly formed state.
