Šentjakobska Cerkev (St. Jacob's Church), Ljubljana

St. Jacob's Church in Ljubljana is a Baroque-style church built between 1613 and 1615 on the site of an older Gothic church, erected in the early 15th century by the Augustinian Order. In 1598, the old church was acquired by the Jesuits and thus became the first Jesuit church in the Slovene lands, and one of the first in Inner Austria. Its interior was designed by Italian architect Francesco Robba and Slovene painter Luka Mislej. After the Ljubljana earthquake of 1895, the church was renovated by the Linz-based architect Raimund Jeblinger and the interiors were redone by Janez Šubic. Nevertheless, much of the original Baroque construction has remained intact.
