Ljubljana Mosque, Islamic Religious and Cultural Center in Bežigrad, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Ljubljana Mosque is a contemporary Islamic place of worship in Bežigrad featuring white concrete, steel, and glass architecture. The building combines prayer spaces with additional facilities including educational and administrative areas.
The Muslim community began planning for the building in 1969, but the project faced multiple obstacles that delayed construction for decades. The building finally opened to the community in 2020.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the Muslim community, offering space for prayer, religious education, and community events beyond worship. Visitors can observe how the different spaces support both spiritual and social functions.
The building sits in a mixed residential area that is easily accessible from the city center. Visitors can explore the interior and see how the different spaces are arranged and used.
A suspended blue textile dome hangs within the prayer hall and serves as a striking focal point. This modern element references traditional Islamic design while creating a contemporary interior feature.
