About Sveta Nedelja

Population - 1,338

Legend has it that the Sava once overflowed its banks and ran right through Sveta Nedelja, and when it retracted into the lake under the hill, a statue of the Holy Trinity was found. The locals interpreted this to be the voice of God, telling them to build a church at that site, and to house the statue within it. Proof of inhabitation in this area extends back to the Roman era. According to the historical chronicles, in 1573, the Peasants Revolt also spilled into the Sveta Nedelja area, particularly in the areas of Kerestinec and Stupnik.
