Šmartno pri Litiji (pronounced [ˈʃmaːɾtnɔ pɾi liˈtiːji]; German: Sankt Martin)[2] is a town in the Litija Basin in central Slovenia.

The oldest house in Šmartno pri Litiji bears the year 1580, and in the 17th century the Mollerey painting and graphic arts workshop operated in it.

[3] The town includes the hamlet of Slatina (in older sources also Slatna,[2] German: Slatenegg[2]).

[4] The interior of the church is illuminated by light coming through stained-glass windows designed by Anton Jebačin.

According to a legend, the church was built on the place where trapped miners in Šmartno were once rescued on Martinmas.
