Vitovlje is a small village above Šempas in the municipality of Nova Gorica in western Slovenia. It is located in the lower Vipava Valley in the Goriška region of the Slovene Littoral.[2]

There are three churches in and around the settlement, all belonging to the Osek Parish. The church in the valley, at the side of the road turning for the main village, is dedicated to Saint Lucy. The church closest to the core of the settlement is dedicated to Saint Peter, but more famous is the pilgrimage church built on a hill above the village, dedicated to The Assumption of Mary.[3]
