Ukanje (pronounced as /sl/) is a settlement in the hills west of Kanal in the Littoral region of Slovenia on the border with Italy.[2]
The local church stands in the hamlet of Britof and is dedicated to Saint Cantianus. It belongs to the Parish of Marijino Celje in the Diocese of Koper.[3] It is a Gothic church with a bell gable, built in 1505. The interior houses a Gothic side altar (a replica, the original is kept in the National Gallery of Slovenia), a gilded Baroque altar, and Gothic frescoes. The church is protected as a cultural monument of local significance.[4]
