| The City Hall’s present form was made by joining two buildings, the older corner building (a clock tower and a classicistic colonnade shed) and a newer building on the square Glavni trg, where the entrance is today. The most interesting part of the corner building is a late-Gothic colonnade hall dating back to the first half of the 16th century, which you can now enter through the entrance hall and a former black kitchen. On fair days this room was used for events and most likely also for storing goods. The newer building, leaning closely against the older one is better known, with its emphasized spindle in the façade part and a hall on the first floor (today’s wedding hall) that dates back to 1638 and furnished with a wooden coffered ceiling and two marquetry portals. It is one of the finest Renaissance castles from the 16th and 17th century in Slovenia. Address: Glavni trg 4, Kranj. In the City Hall, the Renaissance Hall and three permanent exhibitions are put on show: the works of an academic sculptor Lojze Dolinar (1893-1970), the archaeological exhibition Iron Thread and the ethnological exhibition Folk Art in Gorenjska. The Kranj Art Society and the City Hall galleries are situated on the ground floor. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., closed on Mondays; closed on 1.1., 1.5. and 1.11. Entrance fee: adults 2.30 EUR, young or retired 1.70 EUR, groups above 10 - adults 1.90 EUR, groups above 10 - young 1.50 EUR, family 4.20 EUR, guided tour through Prešeren’s grove 0.50 EUR per person.
