Upper Carniola
Upper Carniola ((スロベニア語:Gorenjska); (イタリア語:Alta Carniola); (ドイツ語:Oberkrain)) is a traditional region of Slovenia, the northern mountainous part of the larger Carniola region. The centre of the region is Kranj, while other urban centers include Jesenice, Tržič, Škofja Loka, Kamnik, and Domžale. It has around 300,000 inhabitants or 14% of the population of Slovenia.
== Historical background ==
Its origins as a separate political entity can be traced back to the 17th century, when the Habsburg duchy of Carniola was divided into three administrative districts. This division was thoroughly described by the scholar Johann Weikhard von Valvasor in his 1689 work ''The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola''. The districts were known in German as ''Kreise'' (''kresija'' in old Slovene). They were: ''Upper Carniola'' with its centre in Ljubljana, comprising the northern areas of the duchy; ''Lower Carniola'', comprising the east and south-east, with its centre in Novo Mesto; and ''Inner Carniola'' comprising the west and south-west of the duchy, with its centre in Postojna.
This division remained, in different arrangements, up to the 1860s, when the old administrative districts were abolished and Upper Carniola was subdivided into smaller districts of Kranj, Radovljica and Kamnik. Nevertheless, the regional identity remained strong also thereafter. Upon the dissolution of Austria-Hungary after World War I, Carniola was incorporated first into the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and then into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and it ceased to exist as a separate political and geographical unit. The Carniolan regional identity soon faded away, but the regional identification with its sub-units (Upper, Lower and, to a lesser extent, Inner Carniola) remained strong.
