Šmarje pri Jelšah lies in the Šmarski potok valley, where low cultivated hills surround a compact eastern Slovenian town. Part of the historic region of Styria, it is the municipal centre for an area of farms, orchards and scattered hillside settlements. Its best-known landmark is the hill of Saint Roch: a Baroque Calvary, formed by a sequence of chapels, climbs towards the Church of St Roch. The parish church in town is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, adding another prominent tower to the local streetscape.
