Geography

Zalog is a non-homogenous settlement west of the center of Postojna. The core of the former village has a rural character. It includes the hamlets of Kazarje (or Kozarje, {{langx|it|Casarie}}) and Pasje Hiše (literally, 'dog houses'), which refers to dog kennels maintained by the Italian police before the Second World War. The village has extensive pastures and partially swampy meadows.{{cite journal |last1=Brovč |first1=Gabriela |title=Zalog |journal=Postojnski prepih |date=2016 |volume=10 |issue=66 |pages=10-11 |url=https://www.postojna.si/Files/eMagazine/105/82340/Prepih%202016%20september.pdf |access-date=February 19, 2022}}

Name

The name Zalog is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection: za + log, literally 'behind a partially forested (marshy) meadow near water' or 'behind woods near a settlement'.{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=475}}

History

Zalog was annexed by Postojna in 1994, ending its existence as an independent settlement.{{cite web |title=Naselje Postojna |url=https://www.stat.si/KrajevnaImena/Settlements/Details/3319 |website=Statistični urad Republike Slovenije |access-date=February 19, 2022}}

The church in Zalog is dedicated to the Prophet Daniel. It stands south of the village, near the freeway from Ljubljana to Razdrto. It is a late Gothic structure with a rib-vaulted chancel with three exterior walls and a rectangular nave, and it has a bell tower and a large portico facing the west. It was renovated in 1625. The church is roofed with rounded tiles.{{cite web |title=Zalog pri Postojni - Cerkev sv.
