The original building was built in a
Gothic style in 1484, probably according to plans by the
Carniolan builder Peter Bezlaj.[1] Between 1717 and 1719,[2] the building underwent a Baroque renovation with a Venetian inspiration by the builder
Gregor Maček, Sr.,[3] who built based on plans by the Italian architect
Carlo Martinuzzi and on his own plans (the
gable front, the
loggia, and the three-part staircase).[4] In the mid-1920s, a monument to the
Serbian and first
Yugoslav king
Peter I was erected in the entrance of Town Hall. The monument, designed by the architect
Jože Plečnik, was removed and destroyed by the
Fascist Italian occupation authorities of the
Province of Ljubljana in April 1941.
