Very little remains of what was once a mighty town wall. This is due to demolition, destruction and rebuilding. A hologram reconstruction will allow visitors to admire the illuminated town wall that protected the town from the Late Middle Ages onwards. The illuminated town wall will designate the central space of activity in 2012 and will thus function as an invitation for inhabitants and visitors to attend the events. This virtual mediaeval wall will be built with the help of reflector lights, projections and floor markings. Trg svobode (The Freedom Square) will give birth to the town wall in all its glory, erecting it in the style of a net-like construction at the place where the city gates used to stand, which will create the visual illusion of the former town’s entrance gate. On the spot where the north-west part of the town wall used to be (next to Tscheligi Tower), the city tower will rise once again. Close to the town's food market, another net-like construction resembling the main thoroughfare Koroška vrata will be set up. All three venues will be visible in the evening and the town door will include a highlighted illumination, accompanied by a projection. The other eleven spots of the town wall will be marked with reflector lights, while all fourteen locations will bring attention to the town wall with the aid of a special shimmering material on the floor.
