Brod (pronounced [ˈbɾoːt]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.

[2] Brod lies on the right bank of the Sava River on either side of the road leading north from Vižmarje toward Tacen.

[5] A wooden bridge was built across the Sava north of Brod in 1844, eliminating its function as a ford.

[1][3] Ignacij Česenj established a hydroelectric plant in Brod in 1908, which provided employment for part of the local population.

During the twentieth century many small crafts developed in Brod, including furniture-making, cooperage, automobile bodywork, electrical installation, galvanizing, stove-making, and other activities.
