 Issued with a "Privilegium", Jews were able to settle an area of Ljubljana located on the left bank of the Ljubljanica River.The streets "Židovska ulica" ("Jewish Street") and "Židovska steza" ("Jewish Lane"), which now occupy the area, are still reminiscent of that period.The wealth of the Jews bred resentment among the Inner Austrian nobility and the burghers, with many refusing to repay Jewish money-lenders, while local merchants considered Jews as competitors.
