Biography
View old mayors

The territory of what is modern day Ljubljana was once inhabited by Celtic tribes. Due to its central location on the continent it is considered a crossroads for many peoples. Around the year 50 BC the Romans created a military outpost in the area, while later in the Middle Ages the city slowly began to take shape south of the banks of the Sava River. In the 12th century a rapid settlement of the territories began, bringing urban economy development. Impressive works of art, as well as architecture brought fame to Ljubljana all across Europe. In the early 19th century, the city was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but after its collapse in the aftermath of the First World War, it became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. After the Second World War, Ljubljana was chosen to be the capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia. In 1991 the country became independent.
