The Monument to the French Illyrian Province, a striking obelisk made of marble from the Croatian island of Hvar, stands elegantly in French Revolution Square in Ljubljana, adorned with a bronze half-moon, three stars, and a portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte. Erected in 1929 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the Illyrian Provinces, this unique monument outside of France honors Napoleon's establishment of the Illyrian Provinces in 1809, which briefly united parts of modern-day Slovenia, Croatia, and other Balkan regions under French rule and significantly contributed to the development of Slovenian national identity and cultural awareness.

I think Napoleon would be very happy if he knew in his grave that this sculpture was so beautiful.

This is said to be the only monument to Napoleon outside of France. It is made to commemorate a time when Slovenia, Croatia and areas of Italy were part of the Illyrian Provinces 1809-1814.

The Napoleon column – a monument to Napoleon’s Illyrian Provinces In 2017, Ljubljana will mark the 60th anniversary of the death of the world-renowned Slovenian architect, Jože Plečnik (1872 – 1957). In Europe it isn’t very common, certainly outside of France, to find monuments to Napoleon Bonaparte, but for Slovenia it is a quite different situation – Napoleon established the Illyrian Provinces in 1809, which covered the whole of Dalmatia right down to Dubrovnik, and for which the capital city was Ljubljana. Napoleon’s reforms in this region allowed the use of the Slovenian language at university, which was important for the flourishing of Slovenian culture. A monument was therefore created as a memorial to the 120th anniversary of the Illyrian Provinces, which was presented with great ceremony on 13th of October 1929 and in the presence of the French ambassador in Yugoslavia. The ambassador also brought a gift to the ceremony, a gold palm branch, which Plečnik rather reluctantly but later installed into the edge of the monument, where it can still be seen today. Aside from this detail, it was the sculptor Lojze Dolinar who created the girlish head for the monument that symbolises Illyria and a portrait of Napoleon that is attached to the rear side of the column. The monument, with its floor dimensions of 1 x 1 metre, was carved from Hvar stone and when installing the stone Plečnik recalled that it was Napoleon who introduced the measurement system to Slovenia. During transport from Hvar one of the stones was damaged at its corner and although stonecutters were attempting to fix it, Plečnik wanted to retain this anomaly because he didn’t want to cover up any irregularities, so it can still be seen today. At the top of the monument is Plečnik’s interpretation of the Slovenian coat of arms, with the crescent actually showing a ship and above it three suns, originating from the coat of arms of the Counts of Celje, which can be found on Slovenia’s coat of arms. Get to know the creative opus and life of the greatest Slovenian architect, Jože Plečnik.

Zelo lep spomenik, delo največjega slovenskega arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika. Zanimivo, da je to po znanih podatkih edini spomenik Napoleonu izven ozemlja Francije.

Na to obeležje me je opozoril hčerin prijatelj, ki je Francoz. Velikokrat sem na tem krožišču, v osrednjem delu Ljubljane, poleg Križank, pa vendar ga nikoli nisem opazil. Očitno je ta spomenik poln nasprotij, saj Napoleon ni bil prav nežen zavojevalec. Sicer pa je to spomenik francoski Iliriji.
