Dolina (pronounced [dɔˈliːna]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kamnik in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Špitalič.[1] The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
Geography[edit]
Dolina lies below the southeast slope of Glisnik Hill (elevation: 714 meters or 2,343 feet), about 400 meters (1,300 ft) north of the main road through Špitalič in the valley of Motnišnica Creek.
Name[edit]
Dolina was attested in historical sources as Tal and Tall in 1360,[1] and Klaintall in 1488.[2] The name Dolina is a common toponym in Slovenia as well as other Slavic countries[3] (cf. villages named Dolina in Bulgaria, Poland, and Russia). The name is derived from the common noun dolina 'valley', referring to the local topography.[3]
History[edit]
Dolina was annexed by Bela in 1952, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[4][5] It was later transferred to Špitalič.
Cultural heritage[edit]
There is a chapel-shrine in Dolina dedicated to the Rosary. It stands in the northeast part of the settlement and dates from 1912.[6]
