Municipality of Idrija 2008.jpgA view of Idrija, 2008

The Municipality of Idrija covers a total area of 294 square kilometres and has a population of 11,943 people (2002) living in 35 settlements. Idrija is a member of the Slovene Association of Historic Towns.


The Social Activities Department of Idrija Municipality covers the field of education, sport, culture, science, health care and social care; its tasks depend on legislation. Both of Idrija’s municipal institutions, the library and the museum, were established and are now financed jointly by the municipalities of Idrija and Cerkno. The preservation and restoration of cultural and technical heritage monuments is financed by the municipality as well as the state.

The Idrija region has many technical monuments - part of the old mercury mine has been transformed into the Idrija Mine Museum – as well as important heritage sites like Idrija Castle (1533). Slovenia’s oldest theatre building, built by Maria Teresa of Habsbourg, is also located in Idrija. The municipality financially supports various cultural events, among them annual traditional ‘castle evenings’ held in the restored castle atrium. It also supports the activities of various cultural associations and issues the cultural publication Idrijski razgledi. The rich musical tradition of Idrija is reflected in the large number of its children entering music school.

The local branch of the Union of Cultural Societies of Slovenia (ZKDS) brings together 17 local cultural associations (drama groups, choirs, painters, etc) comprising about 450 members. The oldest-established of these is the Brass Music Association, a brass orchestra which celebrated its 340th anniversary in 2005. The local branch office of the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia (JSKD), located at the municipal headquarters, also assists local associations and organises cultural events.
