Mass grave
Središče is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War or its aftermath. The Središče Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Središče) lies northeast of the village, in an abandoned and overgrown part of the village cemetery. It contains the remains of three Hungarians that were shot while crossing the border illegally.[3]
