Koper is a port city in Slovenia, on the country's Adriatic coastline. Its medieval old town centers around a square with Venetian-influenced landmarks such as the Praetorian Palace and a Gothic-style loggia, while nearby Da Ponte Fountain is a replica of Venice's famed Rialto Bridge. Rebuilt many times, the circa-12th-century Cathedral of the Assumption features a tall campanile with sweeping bay views.
I have a very short time here. So here we go.
Koper's 15th-century Praetorian Palace is located on the city square. It was built from two older 13th-century houses that were connected by a loggia. Just have time for a spot of late lunch while i have the chance.
The city's Cathedral of the Assumption was built in the second half of the 12th century and has one of the oldest bells in Slovenia (from 1333), cast by Master Jakob in Venice.
A pity i don't have more time here, as Koper has a lot of history that deserves further investigation. Not to mention the beautiful Adriatic seafront to relax by and chill out.
