Mestna ob~ina Kranj se razprostira na osrednjemdelu gorenjske ravnine. Na zahodnem robu se naslanja na obronkeJelovice, na severu jo obdajajo Kamni{ko-Savinjske alpe z dominant-nim vrhom Stor`i~a, ki je tudi najvi{ji vrh ob~ine, na ju`ni strani pa seodpira proti plodnemu Sor{kemu polju. Ob~ina le`i na kri`i{~upomembnih poti, ki vodijo iz Severne Evrope proti Jadranu, izZahodne Evrope proti Vzhodu ter v bli`ini dr`avnih meja z Italijo inAvstrijo. Po velikosti je ~etrto slovensko mesto ter gospodarsko,zaposlitveno, prometno, izobra`evalno, kulturno in {portno sredi{~e.

The municipality of Kranj stretches across thecentral part of the Gorenjsko plain. To the west, the city reaches to theslopes of the Jelovica plateau. To the north, it is surrounded by theKamnik-Savinja Alps, with the distinctive mountain peak of Stor`i~,the highest peak of the Kranj municipality, and to the south, it opens upto the fertile Sor{ko polje fields. The municipality of Kranj is situatedat the intersection of major highways that run from Northern Europetowards the Adriatic Sea and from Western to Eastern Europe. Also,the city has the Austrian and Italian borders nearby. Kranj is thefourth biggest city in Slovenia and is an important economic, admi-nistrative, trade, educational, cultural and sporting center.

Zaradi utesnjenosti ssttaarreeggaa mmeessttnneeggaa jjeeddrraa se nove dejavnosti nisomogle {iriti, zato so na zahodnem, severnem in vzhodnem robu za~ela

nastajati nova naselja. Danes je v Mestni ob~ini 49 naselij, ki serazprostirajo vse do vzno`ja [marjetne gore in Sv. Jo{ta, na

severovzhodu proti Preddvoru, na vzhodu proti [en~urju in na juguproti Trbojskemu jezeru.

The restrictions of the OOlldd TToowwnn did not enable the city's expansion.It is for this reason that new centres began to develop in the western,northern and eastern sides of the city. Today, there are 49 settlements

in the municipality stretching all the way to the foothills of [marjetnagora and Jo{t, to the towns Preddvor in the northeast and [en~ur

to the east, and to the Trbojsko jezero lake in the south.

Staro mesto Kranj, v starej{ih omembah tudi Carnium,Creina, Chreina, Krainburg, je zgodovinskomesto na konglomeratnem pomolu med rekama Sava in Kokra.Obmo~je mesta je bilo poseljeno vse od obdobja Keltov v prvemtiso~letju pred na{im {tetjem. Enega od svojih vrhuncev je do`ivelopo preseljevanju ljudstev in poselitvi Slovencev v 7. stoletju, ko stabila osnovana strate{ko pomembna utrdba in z njo povezano nasel-je, kar izpri~uje najve~je staroslovensko grobi{~e, ki je bilo odkrito vSloveniji. Ob izgubi samostojnosti konec 9. oz. na za~etku 10. sto-letja postane utrdba na obmo~ju sedanjega Kranja sede` tako imen-ovane Kranjske krajine, ki se je pozneje razvila v Vojvodino Kranjsko,sede` pa se je prenesel v Ljubljano. Kot pomembno trgovsko sredi{~eje naselje v 13. stoletju dobilo mestne pravice ter s tem povezane{tevilne svobo{~ine in ugodnosti za nadaljnji razvoj na podro~jutrgovine in prometa s kmetijskimi proizvodi ter razvojem `elezarstva.Do sredine 19. stoletja je bil Kranj trgovsko-sejemsko in obrtnomesto, s pojavom manufaktur in ob koncu 19. stoletja tudi industri-je, pa je postajalo vedno bolj industrijsko mesto.

The Old Town of Kranj, also mentioned in historic sources asCarnium, Creina, Chreina, Krainburg,is an historical city that stands on a conglomerate prominencebetween the rivers Sava and Kokra. The city area has been inhabited asearly as the Celtic period in the first millennium B.C. The cityachieved one of its peaks in the 7th century, the era of peoples'migration and the coming of the Slovenian settlers. At that time, animportant strategic fort and, consequently, the first settlement wasfounded. The largest old Slovenian burial ground in Slovenia bearswitness to this fact. Kranj lost its independence in the 9th centurywhen it became the seat of the Carniola monarch. Later on, theCarniola monarch became the Carniola Dukedom, with its seat inLjubljana. The development of trade in the 13th century providedKranj with its city rights and a number of city privileges and benefitsfor further developments in trade, in the transportation of agricultur-al products and in ironwork. In the first half of the 19th century,Kranj was a market trading city. At the end of the 19th century, thefirst manufacturers were established, the industry was thriving andKranj was becoming more and more of an industrial city.

The medieval layout of The Old Town is built in thetypical form of a pyramid, punctuated by the church steeples. Anotherclassic characteristic is a north-south axis, indicated by the visual linkbetween the Kranj parish church and the Stor`i~ peak. A wilful displayof high, dominating features in the city area proclaims Kranj as one ofthe most carefully considered, urban organisms in Slovenia, as well asin Central Europe. At the end of the medieval times and in the begin-ning of the new era, the city walls, with their defence towers, thefortress and the [krlovec armoury guarded the city from the westernSava river side. The ground plan consists of a narrow area between thetwo rivers with two major roads leading into the city, one from theMaistrov trg square where the former main town gates were, and onefrom the lower gate on Vodopiv~eva ulica street. The Old Town con-sists of the Glavni trg square and Pre{ernova ulica street, connected bytwo parallel streets. In the past, Tom{i~eva and Tav~arjeva ulica streetslinked the courtyards of town houses with the town square by cross-paths. The city boasts town houses, wonderfully shaped streets,manors, churches and houses with rich architecture, including decorat-ed frontages and courtyards.

Srednjeve{ka zasnova mestnega jedra Kranja je zgra-jena v zna~ilni piramidalni obliki, ki jo poudarjajo cerkveni zvoniki. Drugazna~ilnost je os sever-jug, ki jo nakazuje vizualna povezava zvonikakranjske `upne cerkve in vrha Stor`i~a. Nedvomno na~rtna postavitevvi{inskih dominant po mestnem prostoru uvr{~a Kranj med kompozicijskonajbolj pretehtane urbane organizme pri nas in v Srednji Evropi. Ob koncusrednjega in v za~etku novega veka je mestno obzidje z obrambnimistolpi, gradom in oro`arno [krlovec varovalo mesto z zahodne savskestrani. Tlorisno zasnovo sestavlja ozek prostor med obema rekama zdvema vpadnicama, ob nekdanjih glavnih mestnih vratih na sedanjemMaistrovem trgu in spodnjih mestnih vratih na dana{nji Vodopiv~evi ulici.Mestno jedro tvorijo Glavni trg in Pre{ernova ulica, ki se povezujeta zdvema vzporednima ulicama. Tom{i~eva in Tav~arjeva ulica sta nekdaj spre~nimi prehodi povezovali dvori{~ne predele me{~anskih hi{ z mestnimtrgom. Mesto krasijo me{~anske hi{e, ~udovito oblikovane ulice, dvorci,cerkve in hi{e z arhitekturno bogato okra{enimi pro~elji ter dvori{~i.

GGrraadd KKhhiisseellsstteeiinnGrad Khiselstein je eden najstarej{ih objektov

mestne obrambne arhitekture. Viri ga ome-njajo `e leta 1256. Grad je eden od osnov-nih elementov srednjeve{kega obrambnega

sistema, ki je z obzidjem in obrambnimi stolpivaroval mesto s savske strani. Grad je bilve~krat prezidan, dana{njo podobo pa je

dobil v 16. in 17. stoletju.

KKhhiisseellsstteeiinn CCaassttlleeThe Khiselstein Castle is one of the oldest

architectural constructions built for the city'sdefence. It dates back to the year 1256. The

castle is one of the basic elements of themedieval defence system that guarded the

city along with the city walls and the defencetowers from the Sava side. The castle was

rebuilt several times. Today's image originatesfrom the 16th and 17th centuries.

The late gothic church, with a presbyteryfrom the late 14th century, is consecrated

to St. Kancijan, Kancijan, Prot andKancijanila and stands on the grounds ofthe church frame from the 6th century. In

the year 1400, the presbytery was builtinto the older nave where today a gothic

MMeessttnnaa hhii{{aaMestna hi{a v Kranju je eden najpomembnej{ih kulturnih spomenikovna Slovenskem. Dana{njo obliko je dobila z zdru`itvijo dveh stavb.Starej{i gotski del meji na Po{tno ulico, na Glavni trg pa se odpira s ste-bri{~no lopo; prvi~ je bil omenjen v prvi polovici 16. stoletja. V pritli~ju jetako imenovana stebri{~na dvorana, ki je namenjena ob~asnim muzejskimin likovnim razstavam. Drugi, renesan~ni del, nekdanji plemi{ki dvorec, paje lep primer renesan~ne arhitekture in spada po svojem nastanku vza~etek 17. stoletja. V ve`i tega dela stavbe so bili leta 1965 odkriti inavtenti~no razstavljeni staroslovanski grobovi in obredno ognji{~e iz 9. in10. stoletja. V mestni hi{i so na ogled renesan~na dvorana in tri stalnerazstave iz zbirke Gorenjskega muzeja: dela akademskega kiparja LojzetaDolinarja (1893-1970), arheolo{ka razstava @elezna nit in etnolo{kazbirka o ljudski umetnosti na Gorenjskem. V pritli~ju sta galeriji Likovnegadru{tva Kranj in galerija Mestne hi{e, kjer so ob~asno na ogled likovne,kiparske in fotografske razstave.

CCiittyy HHaallllThe City Hall is one of the most important cultural monuments in Slovenia.Its present form results from the merging of two buildings. The first and theolder part, adjoining the Po{tna ulica street, with the colonnade shed open-ing to the Glavni trg square, dates back to the first half of the 16th century.On the ground floor, there is a so-called colonnade hall where occasionalmuseum and art exhibitions take place. The second part, formerly a statelyhome, is a beautiful example of renaissance architecture, which belongs tothe 17th century. In the entry hall, authentic old Slavic graves and firesiterites from the 9th and 10th centuries were found and have been displayedhere since 1965. In the City Hall, the Renaissance Hall and three perma-nent museum exhibitions are put on show: the works of an academic sculp-tor, Lojze Dolinar (1893-1970), the archaeological exhibition Iron Threadand the ethnological exhibition Folk Art in Gorenjsko.

The garrison protected the crossings fromthe fortification called Karnij, where today the city ofKranj is situated.

A number of Slovenians have contributed to the mosaic ofKranj's development in culture, economy and politics, among them apainter, Leopold Layer (1752-1828), a politician, publicist, and a vet-erinary dr. Janez Bleiweis (1808-1881), and the glass photographyinventor Janez Puhar (1814-1864). Two Slovenian poets, SimonJenko (1835-1869) and France Pre{eren (1800-1849) worked anddied in Kranj. France Pre{eren's name is unwaveringly connected tothe life of Kranj, as well as to the life of Slovenia. His verses becameSlovenia's national anthem and through Pre{eren the Slovenian lan-guage got some of its best poetry. Kranj boasts the Pre{eren MemorialMuseum, Pre{ernova ulica street and Pre{eren Theatre. A choir, aschool, and a grove also carry Pre{eren's name. The old cemetery,where the poet is buried, has changed into a memorial park.

Kranj so zaznamovali tudi {tevilni Slovenci, ki so ssvojim delovanjem dodajali kamen~ke v mozaik kulturnega, gospo-darskega in politi~nega razvoja mesta. Kranjski rojaki so bili meddrugimi tudi slikar Leopold Layer (1752-1828), politik, publicist in`ivnozdravnik dr. Janez Bleiweis (1808-1881) in izumitelj fotografi-je na steklo Janez Puhar (1814-1864). V Kranju sta delovala in umrlaslovenska pesnika Simon Jenko (1835-1869) in dr. France Pre{eren(1800-1849). Pre{ernovo ime je neizbrisno vtisnjeno v `ivljenjeKranja in dr`ave Slovenije. Njegovi verzi so postali himna, slovenskijezik je dobil nekaj najlep{ih pesmi, Kranj pa Pre{ernov spominskimuzej, Pre{ernovo ulico, Pre{ernovo gledali{~e, njegovo ime nositapevski zbor in {ola, Pre{ernov gaj, staro mestno pokopali{~e, kjer jepesnik pokopan, pa je danes spominski park.
