Mass grave
Bezovica is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War. The Bremce Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Bremce) is located about 1 km northeast of the settlement. Spelunkers found human remains at the site; the remains that were scattered across the floor of the cave were collected in 1992 and were reburied in the Koper cemetery in 2004.[2]
