Spominski park Navje (Navje Memorial Park), Ljubljana

Navje, formerly known as St. Christopher's Cemetery, is a memorial park in Bežigrad district, right behind the Ljubljana railway station. Between the early 18th century and the 1930s, the area was used as a central cemetery of Ljubljana. In 1936, a new cemetery was established, called Žale, and most of the graves were moved there. A small portion of the old cemetery was transformed into a "pantheon" of famous Slovenians. The memorial park was designed by architects Jože Plečnik and Ivo Spinčič. After World War II, the park was largely neglected and renovation works commenced only in the 1990s.
