| Summary: | The article discusses the unexecuted plans for “Honorary cemetery of important Slovenians”, designed
by architect Jože Plečnik. In the frame of urban planning of Bežigrad, northern part of Ljubljana, the architect also dealt with the territory of the abandoned St. Christopher cemetery, where the enlargement
of St. Christopher church, new monumental church (Hall of Fame) as well as memorial park has been
planned. The latter should become a Slovenian Pantheon and as such play an important role in creating historical memory and promoting national consciousness. Due to the different wishes of the owner of the area, Diocese of Ljubljana, the project was never executed, its only remaining is Navje memorial park, which has, due to much smaller dimension, never played the same role as Plečnik’s original idea
would.
