Ljubljanica Sluice Gate
The Ljubljanica Sluice Gate (Slovene: Zapornica na Ljubljanici), or the Partition (Pregrada),[1]:180–181 is a sluice gate and a triumphal arch on the Ljubljanica River in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.[2] It is located between Cukrarna (an abandoned sugar factory) and Vraz Square (Vrazov trg) in the Center District, east of the Ljubljana old town, a bit downstream of Ambrož Square (Ambrožev trg).[3] It was designed in 1939 by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, who envisaged it as a monumental farewell to the Ljubljanica River on its exit from the Ljubljana city centre.[4] It was planned to be used as a footbridge as well.[4] The sluice gate was built with a lot of trouble from 1940[5] until 1943[1]:184 by the constructor Matko Curk.[5] Since July 2009, it has been protected as a monument of national significance, along with other major works by Plečnik.[6]
