Florjan pri Gornjem Gradu


Florjan pri Gornjem Gradu is a settlement in the hills north and east of Gornji Grad in Slovenia. Traditionally the area belonged to the Styria region and is now included in the Savinja statistical region.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Florjan to Florjan pri Gornjem Gradu in 1953. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

Church

The local church is built on a hill in the south of the settlement overlooking Gornji Grad and is dedicated to Saints Primus and Felician and belongs to the Parish of Gornji Grad. It is a single-nave originally Romanesque building with an added sanctuary and a Baroque chapel and belfry.
