Slovenian National and University Library
THE NATIONAL AND UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The National and University Library, which also houses numerous medieval manuscripts, incunabula and Renaissance prints in its rich collection, was built between 1936 and 1941 and is Plečnik's most important work in Slovenia.
It stands on the site of the former 17th-century baroque prince's castle, which was demolished after the earthquake of 1895. The building's exterior shows influences from Italian palaces. The characteristic façade, a combination of bricks and variously worked stone blocks, is modeled on the house of the Roman artist Federico Zuccari.

The National and University Library is one of the most significant works of famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. The building is considered one of the country’s most important educational institutions and houses over 2.6 million books. Though the architecture of the building follows the rules of Renaissance architecture, Plečnik also added antique style columns in the lobby. The Library’s noticeable facade is a combination of stone and recycled bricks from demolished houses in Ljubljana. With this building, Jože Plečnik succeeded in his plan to design the national house of knowledge.
