What with nothing better to blog about I thought I would post a pic of a building which has been one of the landmarks of Ljubljana for many years. Nebotičnik, The Skyscraper, as it is simply called, was built in 1933 and was with just over 70 metres the highest residential building in Europe at the time of construction.
The Skyscraper used to be a popular venue but is at present in a less than enviable state which is a pity. The building needs restoration but neither municipality nor the owners want to invest in it. The bar and restaurant with a terrace at the top have bene closed for years, partly because of high maintenance cost but also because many a wretched soul opted to end their misery by jumping off the terrace. What a shame!
