Poljane (pronounced [ˈpoːljanɛ],[3] German: Polane[4]) is a former settlement in central Slovenia in the northwest part of the capital Ljubljana.
Poljane consists of a cluster of houses on the east side of the railroad from Ljubljana to Jesenice.
[1][3] The name Poljane (usually with stress on the second syllable) is probably derived from a plural form of the common noun poljana 'large field' (< polje 'field').
[1] The Agrostroj Indos foundry (formerly the Pajk factory) operated in Poljane from 1936 onward, also casting ductile iron after the Second World War.
[3] Poljane was annexed by Šentvid in 1961, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
