The Building

The K B Center is a space for cultural and social interaction dedicated to the Slovenian community in Gorizia, located in the heart of the city's 19th century development.

The main goal of the center is to promote Slovenian cultural activity within a multi-ethnic framework.

The center brings together 13 organizations dedicated to different cultural interest and age groups. Among these are a library, two educational institutions, the Slovenian Cultural and Economic Association and a music school.
