Franc Leskošek - Luka

Bronze bust on a stone base was dedicated to the anti-fascist communist activist, commander of the main staff of the partisan units of Slovenia and post-war functionary Franc Leskošek - Luke. The bust was installed at the entrance to the Saturnus factory, where Leskošek worked as a party worker in the 1930s.

The bust was the work of the academic sculptor Boštjan Putrih. It was unveiled by the workers and workers of Saturnus on 27 April 1984, less than a year after Leskošek's death. An identical copy of the bust was unveiled a few months later in front of the Basic School Bičevje in Ljubljana.

The bust is no longer at its original location, and its fate is unknown.
