Slovenian Parliament, Legislature in Republic Square, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Slovenian Parliament is a three-story building on Republic Square in Ljubljana, faced with stone materials from local regions. Inside, it contains a main chamber with seating for representatives and a public gallery where visitors can observe sessions.
The building was constructed between 1954 and 1959 following architect Vinko Glanz's design and initially served as the legislature for the Socialist Republic of Slovenia. After independence in 1991, it became the seat of the modern Slovenian National Assembly.
The entrance hall displays large murals by Slavko Pengov showing key moments from Slovenia's past. These artworks link the daily work of parliament to the events that shaped the nation.
The building sits centrally on Republic Square and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can watch parliamentary debates from the public gallery when sessions are taking place.
The construction involved 27 master craftsmen who carefully worked with Slovenian materials like hardwoods, granite, and marble. This craftsmanship is still visible in many details throughout the interior.
