Koštabona (pronounced [kɔʃtaˈboːna]; Italian: Costabona[2]) is a village in the City Municipality of Koper in the Littoral region of Slovenia.
Name[edit]
Koštabona was attested in written sources in 1620 as Costabuona, and in 1763–87 as Costabona. The Slovene name Koštabona is borrowed from Italian. The name is a compound of costa 'slope' and bona 'good, fertile', referring to its physical location on a fertile promontory.[3]
Another theory, based on oral tradition,[4] claims that in Late Antiquity Koštabona was the site of a Roman fortress named Castrum Bonae guarding the trade route through the Dragonja Valley, and that the name is derived from this.[4][5] However, Italian has no co- reflex derived from this noun (cf. Italian castellum 'castle'),[6] and the expected Italian reflex of Latin castrum would be **castro, not costa (cf. Latin astrum > Italian astro 'star', Latin rastrum > Italian rastro 'rake', etc.).
History[edit]
Koštabona stands on a hill above the Dragonja River. Archaeological evidence shows that the site was inhabited in prehistoric times.[5]
Churches[edit]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian.[7] There is also a small church dedicated to the Blessed Deacon Elias (said to be a disciple of Saint Hermagoras) and a cemetery church dedicated to Saint Andrew.
