Navje, Memorial park and cemetery in Ljubljana, Slovenia

The Navje Memorial Park stretches behind Ljubljana Railway Station, containing granite monuments, tombs, and gravestones arranged along pathways and an arcaded building.

Originally established as St. Christopher's Cemetery in 1779, the site transformed into a memorial park between 1937 and 1938 under architects Jože Plečnik and Ivo Spinčič.

The park houses the remains and monuments of numerous Slovenian writers, poets, and intellectuals, serving as an open-air repository of national literary heritage.

The memorial grounds include multiple sections with benches, circular promenades for walking, and designated areas where visitors can learn about Slovenian historical figures.

Four columns intended for the Ljubljana Music Society building were incorporated into the park's design after World War II, following specific plans by Jože Plečnik.
