What was once part of the harbour is now a beautiful town square full of shiny white marble. At the centre stands the statue of Giuseppe Tartini - the famous violinist, bon in Piran. The square serves as the mid point between the harbour below and the church above. A great place for a quiet beverage at any time of the day.

The walk uphill is absolutely worth it. Walking on this historic segment of the city wall not only imparts a sense of history, but it also provides great views of the historic town. Reasonably priced and a must for visitors. By walking a little farther uphill from the walls, we found a beautiful stone-paved walkway back down into town. The little cafe by the entrance has restrooms, and provided a nice place to stop for beverages after our tour of the walls.

Location Casa Veneziana is on the northeastean part of ex island of Koper, directly near the coast and the monastery Sv. Ana. The construcitng plan of the building was made after 14th century, in the period of Venetian ages. Nazario Sauro, the Italian irredentist, was born in 1880 in Ribiski trg 10, he died in 1916 u Pula. The building was recovered in 1938, when they tried to add a historical and monumental look. The work was led by Ferdinando Frolati (1926-1935 Soprintendente alle Opere di antichità e d’arte per il Friuli Venezia Giulia) who named the building "Casa Veneziana" in his drawings in Trieste. The building went on fire on 2001 and was completely renovated in 2011 by the private owner. Casa Veneziana retained entire built structure and urban design, combined with new architecture preserved many historical elements even today.

We happened upon this lovely cloisters and its associated church while tracking down the various ancient and historic churches of Piran. The Cloisters are absolutely stunningly lovely, serene, and timelessly evocative. There is no more serene and elegant spot we have found in Slovenia.

This small working Adriatic harbor features pleasure and working boats, benches, tiny lighthouse type lighting devices at the entrance, and a walled and sidewalked promenade along the long area of docks. This is one of a number of wonderful resting spots in Piran to watch dawn, dusk, and weather and lighting changes over the Adriatic. Others include the Adriatic front and back sudes of Our Lady of Health Church and the walking area along St Grorge's Church,which looks DC own kn yhe city as nd coast. This free, safe, and open-to-all without fees Harbor area is near Tartini Square and frequented by sailors, tourists, locals,and photographers. Don't miss it or the coastal walk ftom this Harbor to and around Our Lsdy of Health.
