Korita na Krasu (pronounced [kɔˈɾiːta na ˈkɾaːsu]) is a settlement west of Kostanjevica na Krasu in the Municipality of Miren–Kostanjevica in the Littoral region of Slovenia, close to the border with Italy.[2]
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Korita to Korita na Krasu in 1955.[3]
Mass grave
Korita na Krasu is the site of a mass grave possibly associated with the Second World War. The Korita Cavern Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Kaverna v Koritah) is located on the slope of a shallow valley in the hills about 270 m south of the crossroads in the settlement and 80 m east of the road to Sela na Krasu. Although the grave contains human remains, the configuration of the shaft casts doubt on whether it is a concealed grave from the war.[4]
