'''Triglav''' ({{lang-it|Monte Tricorno}}) is the highest [[mountain]] in [[Slovenia]] (and formerly all of [[Yugoslavia]] and the [[Illyrian Provinces]]) and the [[Julian Alps]]. While its name, meaning "three-headed", can describe its shape as seen from the valley of [[Bohinj]], the mountain may have been named after the [[Triglav (mythology)|Slavic god Triglav]], although this hypothesis remains disputed. Triglav's shape can also be seen in the [[Coat of arms of Slovenia|Slovenian coat of arms]], on the [[flag of Slovenia]] and on the Slovenian [[Slovenian euro coins|50 Eurocent coin]].

At the top of the mountain stands the [[Aljažev stolp]] (Aljaž's Tower) which is a Slovenian landmark and an important symbol of the country.
The mountain was first ascended on [[August 26]] [[1778]], by Luka Korošec, Matija Kos, Štefan Rožič and Lovrenc Willomitzer on [[Sigismund Zois]]'s initiative.
The Triglav area is also the origin of an old Slovenian [[legend]] of a [[chamois]] buck ([[steinbock]], [[ibex]]) named [[Zlatorog]] ("Goldhorn"), which is used as a brand mark of [[Laško Brewery]].
A lengthy [[symphonic poem]] by the composer [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]], adapted from the third act of his opera ''[[Mlada (Rimsky-Korsakov)|Mlada]]'', bears the title “Night on Mount Triglav”, though the action is actually situated among the [[Polabian Slavs]] near the Elbe river, in today's Germany.
