Kalvarija (pronounced [kalˈʋaːɾija]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the city of Kranj.[1]

## Geography

[edit]

Kalvarija stands west of Kranj's city center, below the slope of Mount Saint Margaret (Slovene: Šmarjetna gora) and above the right bank of the Sava River.[1] It is connected by road to the former village of Gorenja Sava to the north and to the former village of Stražišče to the south.

## Name

[edit]

The name Kalvarija means 'Calvary'. Until the end of the Second World War, the Gaštej Calvary Shrine (Slovene: Kalvarija na Gašteju) stood in the village above the Sava River. The shrine was demolished, but after the collapse of communism and Slovenia's independence, a Calvary shrine was created at the same site in the 1990s by the sculptor Stane Jarm [sl] (1931–2011). The shrine stands next to the house at Kocjan Street (Slovene: Kocjanova ulica) no. 30.[2]

## History

[edit]

Kalvarija was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[3][4][5]
