Located on the southwestern tip of Slovenia, Piran is one of the most charming medieval towns on the Adriatic coastline. This old seaside town of about 50 square kilometers is known as the "Venice of Slovenia" for its Venetian-style architecture, narrow stone streets and clusters of red-tiled roofs.
The Old Town of Piran retains its medieval layout, with the central square, named after the local-born composer Tartini, surrounded by Gothic and Baroque buildings. The Church of San Giorgio rises above the hill and its bell tower is modeled after that of St. Mark's in Venice. The brightly colored facades of the Venetian houses in the city and the traces of the sea winds tell the memory of the history of the former Republic of Venice.
The Piran Peninsula extends into the blue Adriatic Sea, and the ruins of the city walls overlook the Croatian and Italian coastlines. The nearby sea salt farms still use the traditional salt tanning process and produce highly prized salt flowers. Visitors can walk the ancient city walls, taste fresh seafood, or take a boat to the surrounding islands to experience the unique charm of the Mediterranean Sea.
