The National Assembly Building (Slovene: stavba Državnega zbora), officially the Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia (Skupščina Republike Slovenije),[1] also colloquially the Parliament (Parlament) in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a modernist palace housing the legislature of Slovenia. Built between 1954 and 1959 upon plans by the architect Vinko Glanz, it is a three-story building with an area of 2,200 m2 (24,000 sq ft). It is located at Republic Square in the center of Ljubljana. Annual visitor numbers are around 13,000.[2]
Despite its name, the building houses both the National Assembly (lower house) and the National Council (upper house) of the legislature. The building is listed in the official records as a cultural monument of local significance.[1] It was opened on 19 February 1959 as the Palace of the People's Assembly (Palača Ljudske skupščine), as it was originally the seat of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia's legislature, the People's Assembly.
