Review & FAQ:
Metelkova was an army barracks that was vacated when the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was dissolved in 1991. A network of youth and alternative organizations occupied the premises and created a cultural center and creative space. There are seven buildings totaling 12500 square meters. Artists representing a number of disciplines perform and exhibit at the venue and almost half of Ljubljana's music concerts take place there. The occupants were at odds with the city authorities for decades over threats of demolition until 2005 when the center was declared a national cultural heritage site.
