Brje (pronounced [ˈbəːɾjɛ]; Italian: Bria dei Furlani) is a settlement in the hills on the left bank of the Vipava River in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It is made up of eleven hamlets: Kasovlje, Nečilec, Most, Kodrovi, Pečenkovi, Martini, Mihelji, Žulji, Cinki, Furlani, and Sveti Martin.[2]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius and belongs to the Koper Diocese. A second church belonging to the parish is dedicated to Saint Martin and is built on top of a hill in the hamlet of Sveti Martin, which gets its name from the church.[3]
