Boštjan Kravanja:

Reconstruction of a Sacred Place.
The Location of St. Hilarius and Tacian near Robič (Western Slovenia)

Abstract

Different folk stories and legends that are attached to a small medieval church of st. Hilarius and Tacian in Western Slovenia not far from Slovenian-Italian border are examined according to different variables, such as historical background of the wider area and archaeological findings, church history, toponimy, morphology and last but not least, comparative Slavic mythological findings. The expected result is a more or less exhaustive reconstruction of a sacred place that can serve as another case-model for researches of South Slavic (pre) Christian landscapes.
