context_page_description: Dol pri Hrastniku is a settlement in the Municipality of Hrastnik in central Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of the Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region. In addition to the main settlement, it includes the hamlets of Črdenc, Grča, Javorje, Novi Dol, Pod Bregom, Rakovec, and Slatno.
context_section_description: Roman-era graves have been found in Dol pri Hrastniku, testifying to ancient settlement in the area. Part of a Roman sacrificial altar was discovered during roadwork and is now built into the rectory wall next to the entrance. During the feudal era, the village consisted of nine full farms and three smaller farms. During the Second World War, there was Partisan activity in the area from 1941 onward. In early March 1945, a Partisan unit attached a German base at the school, resulting in the surrender of 100 German troops that then joined an Austrian partisan unit. After the Second World War, a new mining operation was established in the hamlet of Novi Dol, resulting in construction that made many of the hamlets contiguous.
