UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA

The 'University of Ljubljana' (in Slovenian, ''Univerza v Ljubljani''; in Latin, ''Universitas Labacensis'') is the first and the largest university in Slovenia; with 56,000 enrolled students, it ranks among the biggest universities in the world.
Although certain academies (notably of philosophy and theology) were established as early as the 17^th century, the university as such had first been founded in 1810 under the French rule of Napoleon, named 'Écoles centrales', but was soon afterwards disbanded when the Austrian government regained control. The university under its current name was only founded in 1919 with five faculties (law, philosophy, technology, theology and medicine). The main building of the university, 'Rektorat Univerze' (Kongresni trg 12, SI–1000 Ljubljana), situated in the very centre of Ljubljana, was first designed in 1902 by Jan Vladimir Hrásky, and was later remodelled by a Czech architect from Vienna, Josip Hudetz; from 1902 to 1918 it served as the State Mansion of Carniola.
