Velika vas pri Krškem is a village to the southwest of Leskovec in the Krško municipality in eastern Slovenia. It lies just north of the Ljubljana to Zagreb motorway. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Spodnjeposavska statistical region.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Leskovec pri Krškem parish. It is a medieval building that was greatly rebuilt in the 19th century.[3]
Prehistoric as well as Roman graves have been found in the settlement. Remains of Roman buildings, a villa rustica, a milliarium from the time of Marcus Aurelius, imbrices and tegulae, tesserae and hundreds of burials point to the proximity of the Roman town of Neviodunum.[4]
