To this day, the town of Piran has preserved its medieval character as a clustered town fabric, surrounded by a town wall. The oldest part of the town is Punta, and on the slope behind it there is a fort dating back to the 10th century where townspeople could retreat in times of dange. In the following centuries the town was able to gradually expand only in the direction of dry land as the whole peninsula was already built up. The powerful and magnificently built wall is completed with seven preserved fortified towers with ghibelline merlons on top. Especially interesting is their placement; on the outside they look like a magnificent fort while on the inside they do not have a finishing side, so that the wooden landings with stairs are visible.

from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm.
