City Municipality of Celje, Medieval city center in Celje, Slovenia

The city extends along the confluence of four rivers - Savinja, Hudinja, Ložnica, and Voglajna - in the lower Savinja Valley region of Slovenia.

The Romans established Civitas Celeia around 15 BC, which later received municipal rights under Emperor Claudius, becoming a critical colony within the Roman Empire.

The museums and galleries throughout Celje present exhibitions about regional history, archaeological discoveries, and contemporary art from Slovenian and international artists.

The central location between Ljubljana and Maribor makes Celje accessible by train and road networks, with regular connections to major Slovenian cities.

The Upper Celje Castle stands above the city, containing preserved medieval architecture and fortifications from the period of the Counts of Celje.
