What is an Alpine wall?
The wall of the Alps (Italian: Vallo Alpino ) was a defensive system built by the Kingdom of Italy throughout its land border. It stretched from the Ligurian Sea and across the ridges of the Alps along the border with France, Switzerland, Austria and Yugoslavia all the way to the river for a length of 1850 kilometers, thus protecting part of the Slovenian territory, which after the end of the 1. World War II went to the Kingdom of Italy.
Admission is free!

V sredo, 22. aprila 2026, vas ob 18. uri vabimo na predavanje
ALPSKI ZID IN RAPALSKA MEJA NA OBMOČJU STRANE-HRUŠEVJE,
ki bo potekalo na sedežu Krajevne skupnosti Veliko Ubeljsko (Veliko Ubeljsko 3)
Grega Žorž , ljubiteljski zgodovinar, predsednik Zgodovinskega društva rapalska meja, nam bo predstavil nastanek, namen in gradnjo obrambnih skupin t.i. Alpskega zidu na vzhodnem robu Postojnske kotline.

Kaj je Alpski zid?
Alpski zid (italijansko Vallo Alpino ) je bil obrambni sistem , ki ga je zgradila Kraljevina Italija po svoji celotni kopenski meji. Raztezal se je od Ligurskega morja in preko grebenov Alp ob meji s Francijo, Švico, Avstrijo in Jugoslavijo vse do Reke v dolžini 1850 kilometrov ter je tako varoval tudi del slovenskega ozemlja, ki je po koncu 1. svetovne vojne pripadlo Kraljevini Italiji.
Vstop je prost!
