Municipality of Škofljica, Municipality in central Slovenia

The Municipality of Škofljica was established in 1994 when it split from the former Ljubljana Vič-Rudnik municipality. Its seat is the town of Škofljica, but the largest settlement is Lavrica, a satellite dormitory town of Ljubljana that lies just beyond the city border. The municipality includes 18 settlements, among them Dole pri Škofljici, Orle, Pijava Gorica and Želimlje.

The settlement developed at a strategic crossroads where routes to Ljubljana, Kočevje, and Ig converged. This location made it an important junction for travelers and trade moving through the area.

The parish church of Saints Cyril and Methodius serves as the spiritual center of the community and reflects the area's deep Catholic roots. Local residents gather here for celebrations that mark the seasons and important life events.

The area is easy to reach since it sits on established routes in the region and is surrounded by several villages. Visitors will find walking paths through the landscape and quiet routes connecting the settlements.

The Municipality of Škofljica was created in 1994 when it split from the Ljubljana Vič-Rudnik commune. Its largest settlement is not Škofljica itself but Lavrica, a satellite dormitory town of Ljubljana that begins right at the city limit. The municipality has almost 12,000 residents and is a typically suburban commune of the capital.
