The National and University Library (Slovene: Narodna in univerzitetna knjižnica, NUK) is one of the most important national educational and cultural institutions of Slovenia. It is located in the center of Ljubljana, in a building designed by the architect Jože Plečnik in the years 1930-1931 and constructed between 1936 and 1941. The building is considered one of the greatest achievements by Plečnik.
Currently a new NUK building is under construction, due to be opened soon. At the present time a vigorous team of Archaeologists are on the site, excavating the remains of roman architecture of Colonia Iulia Emona. Among the finds is a silver celtic coin.
It is one of the prime archeological endeavours this year in Slovenia. It is being processed with the use of latest revolutionary techniques for archaeological methodology and data processing with the working title Avitus, developed specifically for such work by J. Ravnik and L. Šorli, who both have vast experience in 3d modelling and archaeological systems support, which have been extensively proven on previous digs in Mošnje and Lajh.
