Topol pri Medvodah

Topol pri Medvodah (pronounced [ˈtɔːpɔl pɾi mɛˈdʋoːdax]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

[2] It lies in the hills northwest of the Slovene capital Ljubljana and is a popular destination for short trips with locals.

[4][5] However, its old name is still often used in the modified form Katarina nad Ljubljano (literally, '(Saint) Catherine above Ljubljana').

The painting of Saint Catherine is by Helena Vurnik, and France Kralj created the altar cross.

The cross was pulled down by the postwar communist authorities, but was re-erected after the fall of communism at the initiative of Father Volk in 2000 and was blessed by former Archbishop of Belgrade Franc Perko.
