'''Truške''' ({{IPA|sl|ˈtɾuːʃkɛ|pron}}; {{langx|it|Truscolo}}) is a [[village]] in the [[City Municipality of Koper]] in the [[Slovenian Littoral|Littoral]] region of [[Slovenia]].<ref>[http://www.koper.si Koper municipal site]</ref>
==Name==
The name of the settlement was changed from ''Kortina'' (from Italian ''corte'' 'manor')<ref>{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=202}}</ref> to ''Truške'' in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove Italian elements from toponyms.<ref>''Spremembe naselij 1948–95''. 1996.

==Church==
The [[parish church]], a little away from the village, is dedicated to [[Cantius, us, and Cantianilla|Saint Cantianus]]. It is a [[Baroque church]] from the 16th century. Its exterior is simple and has a pronounced facade with a [[bell gable]]. Its interior houses Baroque equipment. The main [[altar]] from 1788 is made of stone and contains a painting of Saint Cantianus. There are also three side altars from the 19th century. The right one contains a painting of [[Saint Peter]] and [[Saint Paul]], whereas the first left one contains a painting of Jesus blessing [[Saint Joseph]] and the second left one a painting of [[Saint Lucy]] and [[Clare of Assisi|Saint Clare]]. The [[Stations of the Cross]] were created in 1835 by the painter [[Franc Wissiak]]. The church was renovated in the 1960s and in 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://m.slovenia.info/en/religious-heritage/the-parish-church-of-st-cantianius-truske |title=The Parish Church of St. Cantianus, Truške |work=Slovenia.info |accessdate=6 May 2014 |publisher=SPIRIT Slovenija}}</ref>
