Geography
editPodsitarjevec stands in the southern part of Litija, below the southeastern slope of Sitarjevec Hill (elevation: 448 meters or 1,470 feet).
History
editA hillfort on top of Sitarjevec Hill dates from the late Iron Age and was found in 1994. The hillfort was populated until Roman times.[4]
The modern settlement of Podsitarjevec is relatively young; it was initially populated by factory and mine workers associated with the lead mine at Sitarjevec Hill.[1] Podsitarjevec had a population of 23 living in eight houses in 1931.[1] Podsitarjevec was annexed by Litija in 1955, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5][6]
