History

Archaeological finds have been discovered south of the settlement, near the church dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows. A defense wall against Ottoman attacks is also located at the site.[3]

Mass graves

Črnotiče is the site of two known mass graves associated with the Second World War. The Špirnica Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Špirnica) is located northeast of the settlement, about 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) south of Petrinje. It contained the remains of at least 10 victims. Some of the remains were exhumed in 1992 and reburied in the Koper cemetery in 2004.[4] The Č12 Cave Mass Grave (Grobišče Jama č12) is located in a shaft northwest of the settlement, in the Grucelj karst area near the Gradis quarry. It contains the remains of undetermined victims based on reports from spelunkers.[5]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Paul and belongs to the Parish of Podgorje.[6] A second church, dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows, is located south of the settlement.[3]

gollark: I don't really agree with Chinese room arguments.
gollark: Photonic ML hardware is apparently beginning to exist and is very efficient, so that could help in a few years.
gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
gollark: Also, you could sort of gain extra senses of some possible value by mapping things like LIDAR output (AR glasses will probably have something like that for object recognition) and the local wireless environment onto the display.
