Gramozna jama, Memorial site near Žale cemetery in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Gramozna jama memorial complex features a central sculpture depicting a dying hostage, created by Boris Kalin in 1947 and integrated into Vinko Glanz's design.
Between 1942 and 1943, Italian occupation forces executed 185 Slovenian civilians at this former gravel pit, including the painter Hinko Smrekar.
The memorial grounds stand as a testament to Slovenian resistance during World War II, with detailed records preserving the names and dates of those executed.
Located parallel to Tomačevska cesta on the western edge of Ljubljana's New Cemetery, visitors can access the site through the Trail of Remembrance and Comradeship.
The executions at this site occurred without trials, as Italian forces randomly selected hostages from street patrol arrests under claims of suspected communist activities.
