Korita na Krasu (in Slovenian pronounced as /kɔˈɾiːta na ˈkɾaːsu/) is a settlement west of Kostanjevica na Krasu in the Municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica in the Littoral region of Slovenia, close to the border with Italy.[2]
The name of the settlement was changed from Korita to Korita na Krasu in 1955.[3]
Korita na Krasu is the site of a mass grave possibly associated with the Second World War. The Korita Cavern Mass Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Kaverna v Koritah) is located on the slope of a shallow valley in the hills about 270m (890feet) south of the crossroads in the settlement and 80m (260feet) east of the road to Sela na Krasu. Although the grave contains human remains, the configuration of the shaft casts doubt on whether it is a concealed grave from the war.[4]
