The best-known work by Francesco Robba is the Fountain of the Three Rivers of Carniola (1751), representing the Ljubljanica, the Sava and the Krka. It was inspired by the Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers on Piazza Navona and by the fountain on Piazza della Rotonda, both in Rome.
Other works include the Narcissus Fountain (Ljubljana), the main altar and the statues (1732) in St. James's Church (Ljubljana), an altar in Ljubljana Cathedral, the majority of the main altar in the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation (Ljubljana), a statue of St. John of Nepomuk in Klagenfurt (Austria) and an altar in the parish church in Vransko. Francesco Robba is also the creator of the main altar of the Ursuline Church of the Holy Trinity in Ljubljana and presumably also of the marble statue of the Holy Trinity Monument that stands in front of it.
The work of Francesco Robba was highlighted in an international scientific symposium, held in Ljubljana in November 1998.

The Fountain's ground plan is shaped in the form of Ljubljana's ancient...

Located in Mestni trg (Town Square), the Fountain of Three Carniolan Rivers is one of Ljubljana’s most beautiful landmarks. Designed by Francesco Robba, it represents the three major rivers of the region: the Sava, Krka, and Ljubljanica. The baroque details and sculptures are impressive, but since I visited in winter, there was no water flowing, which took away a bit of the charm.
It’s still a beautiful piece of art and worth stopping by while exploring...
