Autonomous cultural center Metelkova Mesto
Metelkova was occupied in 1993 by activists inspired by the Dutch squatters movement.[6] It has developed into an autonomous zone, where activists live and work and there are different spaces for political and cultural events.[6] Punks played a strong role in the beginning of the project then their influence waned.[8] There is now a hostel and Metelkova has become a tourist attraction for the city.[6] In 2015, the mayor of Ljubljana Zoran Janković commented "Metelkova is a centre of urban culture".[9]
