a town of Austrian Illyria, capital of the duchy of Carinthia, on the Glan, 40 miles N.N.W. of Laybach. It is a dull, old-looking town, and was formerly surrounded by walls and ditches, but these were destroyed by the French in 1809, and their site is now occupied by a promenade. The streets, however, are wide and regularly built, and there are five public squares, one of which has a leaden statue of Maria Theresa. The town has many handsome buildings, among which are the palaces of the prince of Rosenberg and of the bishop of Gark, the latter of which contains fine collections of paintings, statuary, and minerals. The Landhaus, or House of Assembly for the estates of Carinthia, was built as early as 1891. The old castle, or burg, is an interesting building. One of the churches is remarkable for its fine tower, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country. Klagenfurt has a normal school, lyceum, gymnasium, and other educational institutions, two hospitals, lunatic asylum, theatre, and public library of about 45,000 volumes. It has also the largest white-lead manufactory in the empire. The principal of its other manufactures are woollen and silk fabrics. It carries on an extensive transit trade. A canal 3 miles in length connects the town with Lake Worth. Pop. 14,200.
