The symbol of the city is the
Ljubljana Dragon. It is depicted on the top of the tower of the
Ljubljana Castle in the Ljubljana coat-of-arms and on the Ljubljanica-crossing
Dragon Bridge (Ljubljana) (
Zmajski most).
[12] It symbolizes power, courage, and greatness.
There are several explanations on the origin of the Ljubljana Dragon. According to the Slavic myth the slaying of dragon releases the waters and ensures the fertility of the earth, and it is thought the myth in this area is tied to the
Ljubljana Marshes, the expansive area that has been threatening because of frequent flooding that reached Ljubljana.
[13] According to the celebrated
Greek legend, the
Argonauts on their return home after having taken the
Golden Fleece found a large lake surrounded by a marsh between the present-day towns of
Vrhnika and Ljubljana. It is there that
Jason struck down a monster. This monster has become the
dragon that today is present on the city coat of arms and flag.
[14] It is historically more believable that the dragon was adopted from
Saint George, the patron of the Ljubljana Castle chapel built in the 15th century. In the legend of Saint George, the dragon represents the old ancestral
paganism overcome by
Christianity. According to another explanation, related to the second, the dragon was at first only a decoration above the city coat of arms. In
Baroque, it became part of the coat of arms and in the 19th and especially the 20th century, it outstripped the tower and other elements.
