Aljažev stolp Totally Explained

Everything about Alja Ev Stolp totally explained

The Aljaž's Tower (Slovene Aljažev stolp) is the highest mountain shelter in Slovenia, situated at the top of the Triglav mountain. Together with Triglav, it's a landmark of Slovenia and an important national symbol of the country.
   The tower was designed by Jakob Aljaž, a priest from the town of Dovje near Kranjska Gora, who also had it erected. Hoping to be able to prevent the increased interest of foreigners for Slovene mountains, Aljaž decided to purchase the peak of the Triglav mountain, as well as Kredarica, for 5 Austro-Hungarian florins. Having done so, he secured himself the right to erect a building on his own real property. He donated the shelter (which hence became known as the Aljaž's Tower, or Aljažev stolp in Slovene) to the Slovene Mountaineering Society (Slovensko planinsko društvo). The opening took place on August 7 1895.
   The cylindrical metal tower with a flag on top was first constructed by Anton Belec from St. Vid and repainted in 1922 by Alojz Knafelc.
   On the proclamation of Slovenian independence in June 1991, the flag of Slovenia was solemnly raised at the tower. On 5 October 1999, the tower was proclaimed a site of national cultural importance for Slovenia.
