Miren Castle, Historical religious complex on hill in Miren, Slovenia

The site contains multiple ecclesiastical structures on an elevated position above the settlement of Miren near the Italian border.

The monastic church interior displays frescoes created by artist Tone Kralj in 1958, representing religious and artistic elements of Slovenian heritage.

Visitors can access the site via a pathway featuring Stations of the Cross designed by architect Ivan Vurnik in 1931.

The Chapel of the Scala Sancta incorporates 28 stepped platforms in its floor design, creating a distinctive architectural pattern.
