Peračica pronounced [pɛˈɾaːtʃitsa] is a settlement in the Municipality of Radovljica in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is also the name of the stream that runs through the settlement. The area is best known for its deposits of characteristic green oligocene volcanic tuff. Mainly because it was easily cut, it was widely used in stonemasonry, particularly for door casings and window casings on traditional houses in the area.
