Geocache Description:


SLO

 

Samo nekaj kilometrov jugovzhodno od Grosupljega, v neposredni bližini Županove jame, se nahaja Tabor Cerovo. Protiturški tabor na razgledni vzpetini je bil zgrajen konec 15. stoletja. Obzidje okoli cerkvice sv. Nikolaja  so zgradili okoliški kmetje, da bi se zavarovali pred turškimi vpadi na slovensko ozemlje. Tabor Cerovo je eden redkih protiturških taborov, ki so se ohranili do današnjih dni. Po svoji velikosti spada med manjše tabore. Dvovišinsko obzidje s številnimi strelnimi linami in tremi stolpi predstavlja kmecko arhitekturo najvišjega nivoja. Stolpi so razporejeni tako, da omogocajo nadzor nad vso okolico.


Cerkev sv. Nikolaja je zgrajena na ostankih prazgodovinskega naselja. Prvic je omenjena v pisnih virih leta 1526, vendar pa njena romanska zasnova daje slutiti, da je bila zgrajena že v 13. stoletju. Današnjo obliko je dobila leta 1702. Notranjost cerkvice krasijo freske iz zacetka 16. stoletja. Posebna zanimivost je poslikana slavolocna stena s prizorom daritve Kajna in Abela.


Po adaptaciji (1999) je Tabor Cerovo postal eden najpomembnejših kulturnozgodovinskih spomenikov v Sloveniji.

Only a few kilometres southeast of Grosuplje, in the direct vicinity of the Županova Cave, there is Tabor above Cerovo. The anti-Turkish fortification on the lookout ground was built at the end of the 15th century. The local farmers built the walls around the little Church of St. Nicholas in order to protect themselves against the Turkish invasions in the Slovene territory. Tabor above Cerovo is one of the few anti-Turkish fortifications that have been preserved until today. According to its size, it belongs among the smaller fortifications. The two-level walls with numerous loopholes and three towers represent the peasant architecture of the highest level. The towers are arranged in a way, which enables control over the entire surroundings.

 

The Church of St. Nicholas was built on the remains of a prehistoric settlement. It was first mentioned in written records in 1526, but its Roman base gives us grounds to suspect it was already built in the 13th century. It gained its present form in 1702. The interior of the little church is adorned with frescoes from the beginning of the 16th century. Its special point of interest is the painted triumphal arch wall with the scene of the Sacrifice of Cain and Abel.


After the adaptation (1999), Tabor became one of the most important cultural-historic monuments in Slovenia.
