Vrhovci (Ljubljana)

Vrhovci (pronounced [ʋəɾˈxoːu̯tsi]) is a formerly independent settlement in the southwest part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.

The older part lies on the Vič Terrace (Slovene: Viška terasa).

The newer part of the settlement developed along the road from Vič to Stranska Vas behind the brick factory, and was settled by craftsmen and laborers.

It is a masculine plural name based on the common noun vrhovec 'settlers on peaks/hilltops', thus referring to the local geography.

[4] Vrhovci was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1961, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
