Geography

Stari Trg stands east of the center of Trebnje on the edge of the flood plain of the Temenica River. There are tilled fields to the north on a gently rising slope, and swampy meadows mostly lie to the south near the river.[2]

Name

The name Stari trg means 'old market town' and is relatively common in Slovenia.[4] Stari Trg is in fact the oldest settlement in the Temenica Valley, and its role as the central settlement in the area was only later taken over by Trebnje.[1][2]

History

A Roman road passed through Stari Trg, and archaeological finds have included the remains of Roman walls, graves, and stones with inscriptions.[1][2] Stari Trg was annexed by Trebnje in 1972, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5][6][7]
