Aljaž Tower: That Tin Has a Soul

Overview

Triglav, together with the Aljaz Tower, is an iconic and irreplaceable symbol of homeland for Slovenians, which is also present in the national flag. Due to its cultural, landscape, historical and other exceptional features, Triglav has a special significance for the Republic of Slovenia. On 5 October 1999, the Slovenian state declared the Aljaz Tower a cultural monument of national importance, and nationalized it on 4 November 1999. Jakob Aljaz's idea that a cylindrical metal building with a flag on top would represent a landmark marking Slovenian ownership of the peak of a Slovenian mountain had finally come to fruition.
