Neuer Platz
The square „Neuer Platz“ directly in front of the city hall, is the actual centre of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. In 2008 the square was reshaped by the famous architect Boris Podrecca and was transformed to a modern “city square”. In the middle of it dwells the Lindwurm, the symbol of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. The architect Boris Podrecca is a specialist concerning square-architecture; also squares in Venice, Piran, Cormons etc. are carrying his trademark.
