The Exhibition and Convention Centre (Slovene: Gospodarsko razstavišče) in Ljubljana is a venue for organising domestic and international fairs as well as other events. The building complex stands in the Bežigrad District, between Vienna Street (Dunajska cesta, Vilhar Street (Vilharjeva cesta), and Robba Street (Robbova ulica), north of the Ljubljana railway station. It is operated by the Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre company. The basic mission of the company is the organization of various events where the exhibitors and visitors meet and cooperate creatively.
History
The center was designed by architects Ilija Arnautović, Milan Mihelič, Branko Simčič, and Marko Šlajmer in the 1950s and the 1960s,[1] and was used in 1955 for the 7th Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.[2] It was built on top of the former Saint Christopher's Cemetery and two churches were destroyed for the construction: Saint Christopher's Church (a Baroque structure) and Saints Cyril and Methodius Church (designed by Jože Plečnik).[2][3]
In 2001 the halls Steklena Hall - C and Jurček - E were renovated, the Kupola - A hall was renovated in 2002, and renovation was finally finished in 2005 with the last halls Marmorna Hall - B and Povodni mož - B2.[4]
