Metelkova Street Art in Ljubljana

Metelkova street art can be found in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the historic center of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. The place consists of former military buildings that have been squatted for over 30 years. The houses are covered with surprising paintings, sculptures and decorations that give the neighborhood a unique look and feel.

“Nowadays, many artists have their own studios in Metelkova, and some NGOs and LGBT associations have their offices there. Art exhibitions, performances, concerts, and engaged activities have taken place in the buildings of Metelkova” (see Wikipedia).

Here are some photos of the neighborhood taken in April 2025, which demonstrate some remarkable artistic talent.
