This remarkably well preserved archaeological site is one of the best known in Slovenia. Although some finds are from late Roman and Medieval times, most of them are dated earlier, between the first and eighth centuries before the Christian era. Unfortunately many of them are exhibited in museums in Ljubljana, [wiki=601f9226a92f0a314068aa4395f65528]Vienna[/wiki] and Harvard University in [wiki=befe9d66da2a38ca28b954a7f1b0c515]Cambridge, Massachusetts[/wiki]. This hill has been a defensive position since prehistoric times and a great number of family burial mounds, ramparts and terraces can still be clearly seen.
Right at the top of the hill is the rustic Gothic church of St Magdalene built on the site of the more ancient acropolis and first mentioned in 1366. Its patron, Saint Mary Magdalene was beatified after being present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and despite having previously had the reputation of being a notorious sinner, with no less than seven devils exorcised from her.
There is a walkway with illustrative panels that will guide you around the Iron Age settlement remains and provide good insights into the probable daily lives of its previous inhabitants.
