Zaplana (pronounced [zaˈplaːna]; German: Saplana[2]) is a small village in the hills west of Vrhnika in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

History

[edit]

The settlements of Jamnik, Jerinov Grič, Marinčev Grič, Mizni Dol, Prezid, Strmica, and Trčkov Grič were all administratively separated from Zaplana in 2002 and given the status of independent villages.[4]

Church

[edit]
Saint Ulrich's Church

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Ulrich and belongs to the Ljubljana Archdiocese.[5] The church was renovated in a pseudo-Romanesque style after fire and earthquake damage in 1895.[6]
