About Glinica
What are the main landmarks in Glinica?
The wartime memorials give Glinica its markers. Standing among the houses and along the roadside are the Spomenik v NOB padlim kolesarjem and the Spomenik kurirjem Dolomitskega odreda, memorials to fallen cyclists and to the couriers of the Dolomitski odred, while the nearby Spomenik padlim v NOB v Šentvidu carries the same remembrance into Šentvid. Above the built-up ground, the earthworks of Gradišče nad Pržanom trace a prehistoric hillfort on the ridge.
Two protected dwellings anchor the street below. The Gunceljska 45 House and the Gunceljska 37 House keep the neighbourhood's older building line.
What is the history of Glinica?
Glinica sits on long-settled ground. The earthwork ramparts of Gradišče nad Pržanom mark a prehistoric hillfort on the ridge above the neighbourhood, evidence that people held this ground on the northern approach to the Ljubljana basin long before the modern lanes were laid. Wartime left markers of its own.
The memorials to the Dolomitski odred couriers and to the fallen of the NOB fix the neighbourhood within the wartime story of Šentvid, and the older frontage along Gunceljska survives from the settlement that stood here before Ljubljana grew out to absorb it. The city reached it in time.
Where is Glinica?
Glinica lies on the north-western edge of Ljubljana, on the low ground below the wooded ridge that carries Gradišče nad Pržanom, with the Šentvid quarter and the Gunceljska houses just downhill. The land rises toward the hills.
