DESCRIPTION OF THE MONUMENT: A grey marble memorial plaque built into the façade of the house in which Valentin Gregorič resided after his settlement in Kranj. The inscription is engraved and painted red.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT: Shot partisan Valentin Gregorič was a member of the Communist Party already from 1933, specifically in Lazah near Ljubljana. He began working for the OF immediately after the summer of 1941. Due to political meetings held at his home, Gregorič was arrested on 24 January 1944, taken to Begunje, and shot shortly afterwards as a partisan in the group that fell near Šentvid above Ljubljana.

The memorial plaque was unveiled on the then municipal holiday of 1 August 1953.
