Račice (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɾaːtʃitsɛ/; Italian: Racizze) is a village southeast of Podgrad in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia.[2]
Račice is the site of an unmarked grave from the end of the Second World War. The Gradac Grave (Slovenian: Grob Gradac) is located northwest of the village and contains the remains of a German soldier from the 97th Corps that fell at the beginning of May 1945.[3]
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Roch and belongs to the Parish of Podgrad.[4]
