Do you want to capture the whole Gulf of Piran, the east coast of Italy, and the Julian Alps in your lens?
You are just a few steps away from dreamy views and beautiful sunsets.
The town of Piran has preserved its medieval character to this day as a compact urban town center surrounded by a city wall. The oldest part is the Punta neighborhood. A fortress was built on the hill above it in the 10th century, where the townspeople retreated in times of danger. In the following centuries, the town could only gradually expand inland as the entire peninsula was built up. The mighty and magnificent walls are complemented by seven preserved defense towers.
Why you shouldn't miss a visit to the Walls of Piran?
The beautiful and once again enchanting views of the city of Piran and the walk along the centuries-old wall is an experience that attracts romantics, historians and the best panoramic photographers every year.
The 7 city gates, which were once the entry and exit points through the city walls have been preserved to this day. A stroll around the old town and discovering the gateways is a great opportunity to explore Piran's magical corners.
Breathtaking views of the entire Piran Bay, the east coast of Italy and in clear weather, the Julian Alps. Climb the stairs of the lighthouse, which was still home to a lighthouse keeper in the 1870s and see Piran and the city walls from a different perspective.
More than 300 meters of the original wall, 13 towers, 7 city gates, which were once the only entrance to the city, and many sections that are today closely integrated into the more modern infrastructure of Piran, have been preserved to this day.
If you decide to climb the Walls on foot from the city center, the route will take you from Tartini Square, past the Church of St. St George's to the entry point of the Walls.
If you are coming from Portorož, at the roundabout above Bernardin (before the descent to Piran), take the route towards Fiesa or Beli Križ and to the Arze garage. The entrance to the walls is a few meters further on your right.
