About

Dragon Square, officially Dr. Arthur Lemisch-Platz, is a significant historical square located in the heart of Klagenfurt. It serves as a lively public space, connecting various streets and offering a glimpse into the city's past and present. The square is named after Dr. Arthur Lemisch, a prominent Carinthian politician. However, its popular name, Dragon Square, often leads to confusion with the nearby Neuer Platz (New Square) where the actual Lindwurmbrunnen (Dragon Fountain) is located. Despite the nomenclature, the square is surrounded by charming historic buildings, cafes, and shops, contributing to Klagenfurt's vibrant city life. It's an excellent spot for a leisurely stroll, soaking in the urban atmosphere, and appreciating the architectural continuity of the city.
