Šentjakob ob Savi (pronounced [ʃɛnˈtjaːkɔp ɔp ˈsaːʋi] or [ʃənˈtjaːkɔp ɔp ˈsaːʋi]; in older sources also Sveti Jakob ob Savi,[2] German: Sankt Jakob[3]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northeastern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.

[1] Šentjakob ob Savi is a clustered settlement on a terrace above the Sava River east of Črnuče.

The name Šentjakob ob Savi literally means 'Saint James on the Sava River'.

[5] 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.

[1][2] Šentjakob ob Savi was a ferry point across the Sava River until 1584, when a bridge was built to serve the postal connection between Graz and Venice.
