The order of the Discalced Carmelites (O. C. D., founded in 1593) was one of the counter-reformational religious orders, which under the patronage of the Habsburgs in the 17th century spread the roman-catholic religion in the German protestant countries. The seat of the German province of the order was in Cologne, where in 1622 the first monastery was built following the mother-monastery Santa Maria della Scala (1606–24). The Cologne monastery church typologically copies the Roman one, and the same type was used for the monastery churches in Prague, Vienna and Graz. The monastery church at Kostanjevica near Gorizia, however, was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century on the model of the Venetian Discalced Carmelites’ church Santa Maria di Nazareth, called Scalzi (1654–89), which was built after the plan by Baldassare Longhena. The contribution offers a possible explanation why for the monastery church at Kostanjevica a different type was chosen.

With the support of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2012 the following books were published: Damjan Prelovšek: Cerkev sv. Mihaela na Ljubljanskem barju : ob 140. obletnici rojstva arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika (The Church of St. Michael at the Ljubljana Moors : on the 140th Birth Anniversary of the Architect Jože Plečnik); Vesna Krmelj: Rožnik (The Rožnik Hill). Using a scientific and at the same time popularly appealing language, which is supported by numerous illustrations, the authors focus on fine art and architectural monuments, also by including them into a wider social context. The highly recognizable series is very efficient in making the Slovene artistic heritage widely known and popular.
