The National Assembly Building in Ljubljana is the principal seat of Slovenia’s legislature and houses the National Assembly (Državni zbor). It functions as the location for plenary sessions and official parliamentary business.

The building contains the main assembly chamber where deputies meet, as well as committee rooms and public galleries that allow visitors to observe sessions when the parliament is in session. Exterior and interior architecture reflect the building’s role as a working government institution rather than a museum.

The site has been used for legislative purposes since Slovenia’s modern state institutions were established; the building has been adapted over time to meet security and public-access requirements. It continues to serve as the operational center for Slovenia’s legislative process.

Located in central Ljubljana within the Urban Municipality of Ljubljana, the building sits amid the city’s administrative and cultural institutions and is accessible from the historic centre.
