CHASING LJUBLJANA'S DRAGONS
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Like Donkey in Shrek, Slovenia's got a thing for fire-breathing dragons...🐉
Long ago dragons ruled the marshes and caves across Europe (fact), one particularly ferocious beast hung out near the Ljubljanica River.
Legend has it that a lad named Jason (lol) battled and slayed the dragon, thereby becoming the first citizen of Ljubljana.

Now you can’t escape the fire-breathing pests. Perching on top of the castle tower on the coat of arms, sitting on manhole covers and popping up on signs & statues all around the city. The dragon owns Ljubljana.
The most impressive monsters hang out on Dragon Bridge.
