ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS and CULTURAL CENTRE LJUBLJANA
The complex with the mosque is the most prominent modern architectural landmark of Ljubljana due to its whiteness and exceptional architectural design by the renowned duo Bevk Perovic. The mosque, a sacral building, is in the shape of a cube, with a minaret standing independently next to it. The buildings of the centre are positioned as separate entities, autonomous buildings surrounding the central square area with a mosque in the centre of it. They are simple volumes, oriented always towards the ‘outside’ world with their respective programmes, simultaneously surrounding the mosque building and allowing views towards it form all sides through the gaps in-between them.
The only known mosque on Slovenian soil (the remains of which were found in Log pod Mangart and which was supposed to have been built in 1916), was later demolished. Therefore, today's mosque on the one hand, it relies on the traditional elements of Islamic architecture, and on the other, it seeks connections with modern architecture. The indoor innovation features a dome concealed under the roof. A space that can accommodate around 1,400 people serves educational, spiritual, sports and residential purposes.
