Magdalenska gora, Archaeological site in Šmarje-Sap, Slovenia.

Magdalenska gora is an Iron Age settlement site on a 504 m hill northeast of Šmarje-Sap. It has a fortified acropolis with a well-preserved southeast gate and a larger, less fortified lower part on a slope toward Hrastje. Around the settlement are burial mounds, including a large group in the forest to the northwest and individual mounds along the road from Šmarje-Sap to Hrastje pri Grosupljem.

The hill was continuously settled from the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt period) until Roman times, with most finds dating to the Hallstatt period, when the settlement reached its greatest extent. Excavations between 1881 and 1913 uncovered 22 burial mounds with more than 1,000 graves, including family mounds with over 100 burials each. The settlement itself was barely excavated, only a small test trench by J. Pečnik in 1892.

The site is named after the church of St. Magdalene, a chapel of ease around which the Iron Age settlement remains were found in the late 19th century. The excavated burial mounds are of the family-lineage type, holding numerous burials, and some giant mounds contain more than 100 graves.

The site lies on a hill northeast of Šmarje-Sap, in the Municipality of Grosuplje. The best-preserved feature is the gate on the southeast side of the fortified acropolis; the larger, less fortified lower settlement lies on the slope falling toward Hrastje. Mounds stand in the forest northwest of the settlement and beside the road from Šmarje-Sap to Hrastje pri Grosupljem.

The site's burial mounds were opened in three campaigns: four by D. Dežman (1881–1883), eight by J. Pečnik (1892–1895) and ten by Duchess M. Mecklenburg (1905–1913). Reports count 22 mounds with more than 1000 graves, some holding over 100 burials each. The settlement itself was barely touched, only a small test trench by Pečnik in 1892.
