Spodnja Idrija (pronounced [ˈspoːdnja ˈiːdɾija], in older sources also Idrija pri Fari;[2] German: Unteridria[2]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Idrijca River in the Municipality of Idrija[3] in the traditional Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

Name

The name Spodnja Idrija means 'lower Idrija'. This distinguished the town from Idrija, which lies upriver and about 20 meters (66 ft) higher in elevation, and which was formerly known as Zgornja Idrija 'upper Idrija' (German: Oberidria).[2][4]
