Emona (Latin: Colonia Iulia Aemona) was a Roman civil town, built on the site of an old indigenous settlement on the territory of the present Ljubljana around 14 AD. This is evidenced by an inscription about a donation that the city received from the emperors Augustus and Tiberius.

The Roman Emona sites in Ljubljana can be seen in several parts west of the old town centre. Emona's ground plan was 430 metres times 540 metres and was surrounded by city walls, which were 6 to 8 metres high and 2.5 metres thick. The southern city wall was redesigned in 1930s by the architect Jože Plečnik.

Emona had a population of 3,000 to 5,000 people, mostly farmers, landlords and merchants, including a small number of government officials and war veterans. Its streets were paved and its houses were built of stone with the hypocaust underfloor heating system, and connected to a public sewage system. The remains of a baptistery with a pool, mosaics, and part of portico may be seen at Erjavčeva 18, next to Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre.

The Cultural Centre of European Space Technologies (KSEVT) engages in the research and development of the Slovenian Cultural Space programme.

For the first 5 years, the centre ran its programmes in the newly-constructed building in Vitanje. The KSEVT's programme was based on the concept of the culturisation of outer space, introduced by Dragan Živadinov, Dunja Zupančič and Miha Turšič within the Delak Institute. In 2014, the KSEVT team represented Slovenia at the Architecture Biennale in Venice with the project The Problem of Space Travel – Supre:architecture.

Since 2017, the KSEVT programme continues at other locations in Slovenia and Europe.
