Spodnja Šiška (pronounced[ˈspoːdnjaˈʃiːʃka];German:Unterschischka[1]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northwest part of the capitalLjubljana in centralSlovenia.[2] It is part of the traditional region ofUpper Carniola[3][4][5][6][Note 1] and is now included with the rest of the municipality in theCentral Slovenia Statistical Region.[8]
The nameSpodnja Šiška literally means 'lower Šiška', distinguishing the settlement from neighboringZgornja Šiška (literally, 'upper Šiška'). The nameŠiška was attested in 1308 asze Cheis (and asCheysse in 1330 andpey Keysk in 1331). The name is derived from*Hiška, a diminutive of the common nounhiša 'house'. The phonological change ofH- >Š- may be due to Upper Carniolan palatalization,discontinuous assimilation, or both. The semantic motivation of the name is attributed to a single small house that originally stood in the settlement.[9] In the past the German name wasUnterschischka.[1]
The oldest settlement core of Spodnja Šiška lies between Milan Majcen Street (Slovene:Ulica Milana Majcna, formerly Saint Bartholomew Street,Svetega Jerneja cesta) and Fire Station Street (Gasilska cesta). The houses in this area had long strips of land in a north-south direction. In 1382, a peace treaty between theRepublic of Venice andLeopold III ofHabsburg was signed in front ofSt. Bartholomew's Church in Spodnja Šiška, whereby the Austrians agreed to return the city ofTrieste.[10] Spodnja Šiška was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1914, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[11]
Thechurch in Spodnja Šiška is one of the oldest in Ljubljana. It is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and is also known as the Old Church (Slovene:Stara cerkev). It was built in the 13th century and was remodeled between 1933 and 1938 by the Slovene architectJože Plečnik.[12]
