Ljubljana

Also known as Laibach

Ljubljana is the capital and largest city of Slovenia, on the Ljubljanica river. The Roman colony of Emona stood on its site, and as Laibach it was the capital of the Habsburg duchy of Carniola. It served as the seat of Napoleon's Illyrian Provinces from 1809 to 1813 and hosted the Congress of Laibach in 1821, and in 1991 it became the capital of independent Slovenia.
