Prešeren Grove, Memorial park in Kranj, Slovenia

The tree-filled park contains walking paths, benches, and monuments spread across a landscaped area between Gregorčič Street and Partisan Street.

Established in 1798 as the town cemetery, the park transformed into a memorial space before World War II, preserving gravestones of notable Slovenian figures.

The park commemorates France Prešeren, featuring monuments dedicated to the poet whose verses became Slovenia's national anthem, alongside other distinguished Slovenes.

Free admission and public access allow visitors to explore the park's paths, monuments, and shaded areas throughout different times of the day.

The park includes one of Europe's earliest monuments to victims of fascist violence, established in 1931, honoring antifascists from Bazovica and Vladimir Gortan.
