St. James's Bridge

Four bronze relief plaques depicting scenes from The Water Man, a Ljubljana-related Romantic ballad of the poet France Prešeren, were intended to be put on the fence of the bridge.

The Water Man

The poem was based on a story from The Glory of Carniola, about a dance at Old Square in Ljubljana in July 1574, when Urška Šefer was enchanted by a vodyanoy and tugged to the Ljubljanica.
