Španski borci Culture Centre reopened in November 2009 in the Ljubljana-Moste neighbourhood of the eastern part of the city. The centre is run by En-Knap Productions, as such it presents the largest facility intended for cultural activities in Slovenia managed by a non-governmental organisation. Providing a much-needed performing space in Ljubljana as well as two rehearsal spaces, the centre's programme focuses primarily on performing arts, however it also cover the areas of music, visual arts, literature, and offers a children's programme alongside. The centre also includes a reading room, a mediatheque, a coffee shop, and a gallery.

As the permanent residence of the EnKnapGroup (EKG) and one of the venues of the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance, the Španski borci Culture Centre has become the seat of the new Centre of Contemporary Dance, according to the agreement signed by the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Ljubljana in June 2011.

Center kulture Španski borci je največji objekt za kulturne dejavnosti v Sloveniji, ki ga upravlja nevladna organizacija.
