About Trata

Trata carries a run of memorials and old houses. The Vodnikova domačija preserves the homestead tied to the poet Valentin Vodnik, and the nearby Hiša Vodnikova 65 keeps the family name in the streetscape. Memory runs deep here.
Wartime and resistance are marked by the Spomenik Svobode, Šiška, the Spomenik padlim v NOB v Šentvidu, and the Spomenik v NOB padlim kolesarjem, while the older Spomenik vižmarskemu ljudskemu taboru recalls the mass assembly held at Vižmarje.
What is the history of Trata?
Trata grew from older villages on the northwest fringe of Ljubljana. Its story reaches back before the city. High on the ridge, the Gradišče nad Pržanom marks a prehistoric hillfort above Pržan, while the Spomenik vižmarskemu ljudskemu taboru recalls the great Vižmarje assembly that gathered Slovene voices in the nineteenth century.
Later years left their own marks. The resistance of the wartime period is fixed by the Spomenik padlim v NOB v Šentvidu and the Spomenik Svobode, Šiška, and the Vodnikova domačija anchors the neighbourhood to the poet Valentin Vodnik.
