Memorial Room of Writer Ivan Cankar, 2009
The Memorial Room of Writer Ivan Cankar (1876–1918) is a reconstruction of his original room with objects dating from his lifetime and several of his personal belongings as well as some of Cankar's first prints and translations of his work. The modernist poet, writer and playwright Ivan Cankar lived in the inn on the top of the Rožnik hill in Ljubljana from 1910 to 1917. On the 30th anniversary of his death the location was renamed Cankarjev vrh (Cankar's Summit) and the City Museum of Ljubljana opened a public memorial room in the adjacent building (1948).

Velika Nedelja Castle, view to the north-west, 2014.
According to legend, the town and castle of Velika Nedelja ("Easter Sunday") were named after an important battle on Easter Day in 1199 when Friderik of Ptuj supposedly snatched the still-unpopulated land in this area from the Hungarians. He later granted it to the Teutonic Order of Knights, who built the first castle. Much of the present Velika Nedelja Castle dates from a 16th-century reconstruction and today it houses the Velika Nedelja Unit of the Ptuj – Ormož Regional Museum, established in the 1980s. An ethnological collection of the Ormož region is on display.
