Dragon Bridge in Slovenia's capital city, Ljubljana, is a familiar site to travelers. The dragon has long been a symbol of Ljubljana. The origin of this city's symbol can be traced to the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, who supposedly encountered the Ljubljana dragon on their way to the Adriatic Sea by way of the Danube and Ljubljanica Rivers.
