Historic walled town of Piran
Piran is a historic walled town on the Istrian coast of Slovenia. Below its dominating cathedral with its Venice-like campanile, lies the oval inner harbour, which was replaced in the 19th Century with an elegant town square, focussed on a statue of Tartini - an 18th Century composer, violinist and native of Pirano.
The town had its urban development constricted by its peninsular site and town walls and then by the 20th Century’s border and social upheavals. Luckily the town escaped significant war damage.
