Svetli Dol
place in Styria, Slovenia
Svetli Dol (pronounced [ˈsʋɛːtli ˈdoːu̯]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Štore in eastern Slovenia. It lies in the hills south of Svetina. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Glažuta (literally, 'glassworks' < German Glasshütte) to Svetli Dol (literally, 'bright valley') 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 German elements from toponyms.
Cultural heritage
The local chapel is dedicated to Saint Florian and dates to 1754.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Svetli Dol” as place in Styria, Slovenia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as place in Styria, Slovenia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2277910. Authority coordinates are 46.185, 15.319. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1955, 1948 and 1754.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
