Aljaž Tower or the Triglav Tower is a tower, a storm shelter and a triangulation point on the summit of Mount Triglav in northwestern Slovenia. Along with Triglav, it is a landmark of Slovenia and a symbol of the Slovenehood. The tower was designed by Jakob Aljaž, a priest in the Upper Carniolan village of Dovje, who also had it erected, in 1895. Today it is owned by the state, is maintained by the Ljubljana Matica Alpine Club, and stands on a parcel belonging to the Municipality of Bohinj.
