Prešernov gaj
kulturni in zgodovinski spomenik
Od leta 1798 se je na tem območju nahajalo mestno pokopališče, ki so ga prenehali uporabljati za pokopavanje v letih pred drugo svetovno vojno.
Nekdanje pokopališče se je preuredilo v spominski park, kjer lahko najdete nagrobnik pesnika dr. Franceta Prešerna, nagrobnik pesnika Simona Jenka, Majdičevo grobnica z marmornim reliefom »Vstajenje« ter spomenik bazoviškim žrtvam in Vladimiru Gortanu, ustreljenemu v Pulju, ki je eden najzgodnejših spomenikov žrtvam fašističnega nasilja v Evropi.
Sprehod po parku se prileže zlasti v vročih poletnih dneh, saj drevesa ponujajo številne hladne kotičke.

Cultural and Historical Monument
Since 1798, this area served as the town cemetery, which ceased to be used for burials in the years leading up to World War II.
The former cemetery was transformed into a memorial park, where you can find the tombstone of poet Dr. France Prešeren, the tombstone of poet Simon Jenko, the Majdič family tomb with the marble relief Resurrection, as well as monuments dedicated to the Bazovica victims and Vladimir Gortan, who was executed in Pula. The latter is one of the earliest monuments in Europe commemorating the victims of fascist violence.
A walk through the park is especially pleasant on hot summer days, as the trees provide many cool and shaded spots.
