Banja Loka (formerly also Banjaloka, locally Banjloka[2]) is a small village in the Municipality of Kostel in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[3]
The local parish church, built to the east of the settlement next to the cemetery, is dedicated to Saint James (Slovene: sveti Jakob) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was built in 1742 and has a cruciform floor plan with a large belfry.[4]
