Peračica is a settlement in the Radovljica municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is also the name of the stream that runs through the settlement. The area is best known for its deposits of oligocene volcanic tuff with a characteristic green colouring. This was, mainly because it was easily cut, widely used in stonemasonry, particularly for portals and window frames on traditional houses in the area.
