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 street leading to the complex was renamed Džamijska ulica, from the Slovene word for mosque, a cognate of the Arabic jamaat (congregation). Since 2017 an ambrovec tree, a symbol of religious coexistence and peace, has grown in front of the center, planted by mufti Nedžad Grabus, Ljubljana archbishop Stanislav Zore, Protestant bishop Geza Filo and Serbian Orthodox priest Rade Despotović. A small itikaf prayer room by the entrance is reserved for those who spend the last ten days of Ramadan in seclusion.

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.

The dome is not a masonry shell but a lightweight spatial structure inside the prayer hall, covered with blue textile hung from the ceiling. The minaret stands as a separate structure from the mosque cube, and the prayer hall rises about 11 metres while the dome reaches up to 18 metres.
