Celebrating Jože Plečnik’s Legacy: A Tribute to Slovenia’s Greatest Architect

Jože Plečnik, the most renowned Slovenian architect, continues to inspire with his unparalleled contributions to architecture and cultural heritage. On the occasion of his 153rd birth anniversary, we reflect on his remarkable legacy.

Originally published last year, the Feel Slovenia podcast episode hosted by Dr. Noah Charney remains a must-listen for anyone fascinated by Plečnik's architectural mastery. Joined by experts Ana Porok from the Plečnik House Museum and Peter Krečič, former director of the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana, Charney delves into Plečnik’s life, achievements, and his lasting impact on Ljubljana, where his innovative designs are UNESCO World Heritage-listed.
