Navje

Navje is a memorial park in Ljubljana, which was built in 1937 and 1938 according to the plans of Jože Plečnik in 1929 arranged by architects Jože Plečnik and Ivo Spinčič on the far eastern edge of the former cemetery of St. Which reached to the west all the way to the Vienna Road. St. Peter's Cemetery Christopher was opened on 3 May 1779 with the first funeral and blessing of the Bishop of Ljubljana, Karl Herberstein. This new cemetery was arranged outside the then city center, as Emperor Joseph II forbade burials around churches in cities, as was customary until then. Interestingly, ancient Romans were buried in the same place, but on both sides of the northern incursion road to Emona, as evidenced by archaeological remains. Today's Vienna Road follows the same route as the Amber Road in ancient times.
