Soteska (pronounced [sɔˈteːska]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.^[2] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.^[3]

Geography

Soteska lies north of the Sava River and is nestled against the southeast slope of Soteska Hill (Slovene: Soteški hrib, 406 m).^[1]^[2] The Belinka Perkemija chemical company stands immediately east of the village.

Name

The name Soteska is derived from the Slovene common noun soteska 'gorge', 'ravine', or referring to a place where a valley meets the side of a hill or mountain, thus referring to the physical location of the settlement.^[4]

History

Folk tradition says that a castle stood on the hill above the hamlet of Soteska and was destroyed by the Ottomans, but no trace of the structure remains today.^[2] There is an old shrine in the village that is believed to be associated with the Ottomans.^[1] Soteska was a popular excursion destination for Ljubljana residents before the Second World War.^[1] Soteska was annexed by Šentjakob ob Savi in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.^[5]^[6] Šentjakob ob Savi itself was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1984.^[6]
