Četena Ravan (pronounced [tʃɛˈteːna ɾaˈʋaːn]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

Name

Četena Ravan was attested in historical sources as Seteneraun in 1291, Tanawren and Zeta Nawren in 1453, and Czetenorawen in 1500, among other spellings.[3] The name is derived from the verb črtati 'to clear (land)', and thus means 'cleared plateau'.[4] The common noun ravan 'flatland, plateau' is relatively common in Slovene toponyms.[5]

Church

Saint Brice's Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Brice (Slovene: sveti Brikcij). It is a late Gothic structure with a five-sided apse and a square nave. Although it was extended in the late 18th century, early 16th-century frescos, some painted by Jernej of Loka, survive in the sanctuary. The main altar dates to the late 17th century with 16th-century statues.[6]
