The University of Ljubljana is located at the southern end of Kongresni trg (Congress Square). It was built on the site of the former Provincial Mansion, which was until 1791 used as the office and residential building for deputies of provincial governors. In 1821, the Provincial Mansion hosted the famous Congress of the Holy Alliance, which brought together several European monarchs (the Austrian Emperor, the Russian Tsar and the King of Naples) and is considered to have ended the Napoleonic Wars. The Provincial Mansion was destroyed by the earthquake of 1895. The present building was built in 1902 and since 1919 has been used as the seat of the University of Ljubljana for over 50,000 students and 41 institutes.
