Gorjansko (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾjaːnskɔ]) is a village in the southwestern part of the Municipality of Komen in the Littoral region of Slovenia on the border with Italy.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Andrew and belongs to the Diocese of Koper.[3] It was built in 1896 on top of the ruins of a smaller Gothic church and was renovated in the late 1950s when its interior was painted by Tone Kralj. Close to the settlement is also a large cemetery of over 10,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers of various nationalities that died on the Isonzo front in the First World War. It is the largest such cemetery in Slovenia.[4]
