Maks Fabiani (1865 – 1962) was one of the main architects that introduced the Vienna Secession style of architecture in Slovenia.
The style, more commonly known as Art Nouveau, marked the modern image of Ljubljana, after the 1895 earthquake cleared some land in the city centre for the new style of buildings to be merged with the mostly baroque style of architecture that survived.
