Zaklad se nahaja na pasu nepozidane zemlje med Štepanjo vasjo in Štepanjskim naseljem. Štepanja vas je bila nekdaj vas v ljubljanski okolici, zdaj pa je povsem vključena v mesto. Ime je dobila po sv. Štefanu, ki je zavetnik farne cerkve. Cerkev, ki se ponaša z lepo baročno notranjostjo, je bila zgrajena v 16. stoletju. Na pokopališču ob cerkvi je (žal zanemarjena) grobnica družine Codelli, ki je bila nekdaj lastnica gradu Kodeljevo. Štepanjsko naselje pa je "zraslo iz tal" v sedemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja. V tem naselju živi v več kot tri tisoč stanovanjih približno deset tisoč ljudi. Štepanjsko naselje je najbolj gosto poseljeno območje v Sloveniji. Če bi bila v celi Sloveniji poselitev tako gosta kot v Štepanjskem naselju, bi v Sloveniji živelo več kot dvesto milijonov ljudi.
The chache is located on a strip of unbuilt land between Štepanja vas and Štepanjsko naselje (settlement). Štepanja vas was once a village in the vicinity of Ljubljana, but now it is fully integrated into the city. It was named after St. Stephen, who is the patron saint of the parish church. The church, which boasts a beautiful Baroque interior, was built in the 16th century. In the cemetery next to the church is (unfortunately neglected) the tomb of the Codelli family, which was once the owner of Kodeljevo Castle. The Štepanjsko settlement "grew out of the ground" in the 1970s. About ten thousand people live in this settlement in more than three thousand apartments. Štepansko naselje is the most densely populated area in Slovenia. If the settlement in the whole of Slovenia were as dense as in Štepanjsko naselje, more than two hundred million people would live in Slovenia.
