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.
