Rudnik (Ljubljana)

Rudnik (pronounced [ˈɾuːdnik]) is a former village that is now included in the southern part of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

[1] The older village farms lie on the slopes west of Lower Carniola Street (Slovene: Dolenjska cesta),[4] but by the early 20th century newer houses had been built along the street up to the city limits of Ljubljana.

[1] Rudnik was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1961, ending its existence as a separate settlement.

[5] The parish church in Rudnik is dedicated to Saints Simon and Jude.

The church was originally built in the Gothic style and was first mentioned in written sources in 1462.
