Edvard Peperko Barracks, Military barracks in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Edvard Peperko Barracks is a military facility with multiple buildings and training grounds located on Leskoškova Street, serving as a key installation for the country's armed forces in Ljubljana. The complex houses several military units and support departments of the Slovenian Army.
Originally built in 1975 as a Yugoslav military installation, the site transitioned to Slovenian control following the country's independence in 1991. The transformation shows how military infrastructure changed when the nation emerged as a separate state.
The barracks took its current name in 2012 to honor one of the first soldiers lost during the country's independence conflict. This naming reflects how the place serves as a reminder of sacrifice during that period.
The barracks is located on Leskosskova Street and operates as a restricted military zone with limited public access. Visitors can view the perimeter from outside or arrange special permission if needed for closer inspection.
The site occupies the grounds of Ljubljana's former airport, marking a shift from civil aviation to military purposes. This repurposing transformed what was once a gateway for travelers into a defense installation.
