The Ljubljana train station ( Slovenian Železniška postaja Ljubljana ) is the largest train station in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana and the crossing point on the double-track main line ( Vienna -) Spielfeld-Straß-Maribor-Ljubljana-Trieste (originally part of the Austrian Southern Railway ) with the single-track lines from Tarvisio or Villach and from Karlovac . It was built in 1849 when the construction of the Austrian Southern Railway reached the city. In 1980 the building was renovated under the direction of the architect Marko Mušič .

Planning

In 2008, work began on building a multifunctional building complex next to the train station, which will house various office buildings as well as shopping centers, hotels and congress centers as well as residential buildings. The existing station building is to be retained and integrated into the new complex called Emonika . Completion was planned for 2011.
