Sveti Primož nad Muto (pronounced  [ˈsʋeːti ˈpɾiːmɔʃ nad ˈmuːtɔ] ) is a dispersed settlement in the hills immediately north of Muta in the historical Styria region in northern Slovenia. [2]

Dispersed settlement Rural settlement type, typically consists of widely spaced farmsteads without an actual nucleus

A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Primož nad Muto (literally, 'Saint Primus above Muta') to Podlipje (literally, 'below the linden trees') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. [3] [4] [5] The name Sveti Primož nad Muto was restored in 1994. [6]

Church

The local church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to Saints Primus and Felician and was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1425. The nave is Romanesque with a Gothic sanctuary and a 19th-century belfry. It belongs to the Parish of Muta. [7]

Primus and Felician Saints

Saints Primus and Felician (Felicianus) were brothers who suffered martyrdom about the year 297 during the Diocletian persecution. The "Martyrologium Hieronymianum" gives under June 9 the names of Primus and Felician who were buried at the fourteenth milestone of the Via Nomentana.

Romanesque architecture architectural style of Medieval Europe

Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 11th century, this later date being the most commonly held. In the 12th century it developed into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture.

Gothic architecture style of architecture

Gothic architecture is a style that flourished in Europe during the High and Late Middle Ages. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originating in 12th-century France, it was widely used, especially for cathedrals and churches, until the 16th century.
