Are you interested in where Ljubljana got its distinctive sign of the Dragon?
The choice of Dragon symbol is associated with the legend of the Argonauts and the ancient Greek hero Jason, who stole the Golden Fleece from king Aitesu. Legend has it that Jason and his companions fled on board the ship Argo, to run from their pursuers. Travelling across the Black Sea, the Danube and the Sava river, they eventually arrived to Ljubljanica river.
According to the legend, here, the Argonauts dismantled their ship and transferred it on land to reach the Adriatic Sea. At the source of Ljubljanica, they stopped at a large lake in the marshes, where a monster lived – the Ljubljana’s dragon. In the fight between Jason and the monster, Jason won. To symbolize power, courage and greatness, the fallen Ljubljana Dragon became a recognizable image of the city and it appears in Ljubljana’s city flag and coat of arms.
