| | The City Municipality of Ljubljana |
 | | Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a dynamic European city lying at an altitude of 298 meters above sea level in a broad basin between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. |
 | | With the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Slovenia and its capital became part of a new state, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, later renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. |
 | | Ljubljana, with its 45,000 inhabitants, now formally became the administrative and political center of Slovenia, and, as a result, a number of vitally important cultural institutions were founded: the National Gallery (1918), the University of Ljubljana (1919), and the Academy of Arts and Sciences (1937). |
