Maribor is the second biggest city in Slovenia with about 100,000
inhabitants. It was the most important industrial centre of Slove-
nia in the time of socialist Yugoslavia. It became a university town in
1975 with the establishment of the second Slovenian university. The
work of the Department of Geography started before that, in 1961.
Maribor is nowadays less an industrial and an increasingly tertiary
and quaternary sector oriented administrative and cultural centre
of north-eastern Slovenia. In 2012, Maribor was the European Cap-
ital of Culture.
