Šentvid (pronounced [ʃɛnˈtʋiːt]; formerly also Šent Vid nad Ljubljano,[1] German: Sankt Veit[2]) is a part of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

In August 1942, the writer and resistance activist Tone Čufar (born 1905) was shot in Šentvid by the Germans.

[6] After the war, the building was used as a collection center for captured Slovene Home Guard troops[7][8] and two mass graves were created nearby.

The proto-parish of Šentvid was later divided into the parishes of Polhov Gradec, Črni Vrh, Šentjošt, Horjul, Dobrova, and Sveta Katarina.

It was built in 1796, replacing an older structure, and was extended eastwards after the 1895 Ljubljana earthquake, when the exterior was also remodeled.

More recent altar paintings are the work of Tone Kralj, and the baptismal font was designed by Jože Plečnik.
