Holy Trinity Church, Romanesque filial church in Hrastovlje, Slovenia

The Holy Trinity Church features three naves with a polygonal sanctuary, surrounded by defensive limestone walls with archer towers on a rocky hilltop.

Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, the church received fortification walls during the 16th century to protect inhabitants from Ottoman Empire attacks.

Johannes de Castua painted extensive Gothic frescoes throughout the interior in 1490, including biblical scenes and the notable Dance of Death sequence.

The church opens daily from 9:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 17:00, with entrance fees of 3 euros for adults and guided tours available in four languages.

The interior contains inscriptions in Glagolitic script, the oldest Slavic alphabet, alongside medieval frescoes showing characters wearing 15th-century clothing.

Location: City Municipality of Koper

Architectural style: Romanesque architecture
