The Austro-Hungarian perood was of great significance for the development of urban planning and architecture in Slovenia. This was the time when Slovene cities and towns moved from their medieval structure and began to modernize themselves. Ljubljana, as the capital of Carniola, transformed from a provincial town, which was almost just a big village and then transformed into a modern city, with all the attributes of a nations capital. The key player in this metamorphosis was Vienna, the capital and centre of the political, economic, cultural and artistic life in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
