Detailed itinerary
1
Start your walk at the Piran town walls. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring these layered fortifications from the outside, where towers, gates and medieval stonework reveal how the town defended itself without needing to enter any structure.
2
View the Minorite Monastery from the exterior. Its Renaissance lines, cloistered courtyard layout and quiet presence can all be appreciated from the outside while the sounds of rehearsals often drift into the street.
3
Stop 3
Pass by
Admire St. George’s Church from the hilltop terrace. The façade, freestanding bell tower and baptistery are fully visible outdoors, along with sweeping views of Slovenia, Croatia and Italy.
4
Stand before the Venetian House and take in its pink façade, Gothic windows and the famous stone carving of “Lassa pur dir.” All the building’s personality sits on the exterior, making this a perfect outdoor stop.
5
Stop 5
Walk across Tartini Square and explore its oval form from the open air. The bronze Tartini statue, pastel buildings and reflective stone paving are fully experienced outdoors where the old harbor once stood.
6
Pause outside Gabrielli Palace and view its Classicist façade along the harbor. The palace tells the story of Piran’s maritime heritage simply through its architecture and waterfront position.
7
Explore First of May Square from above its stone platform. The square’s hidden cisterns and historic wellheads are understood entirely from the outdoor space where daily life still gathers.
8
Wrap up your tour at the Punta lighthouse. Take a moment to enjoy the waves, the small Baroque church beside it and the place where Piran’s name, rooted in ancient fire beacons, first earned its meaning.
