Koper, Coastal city in southwestern Slovenia.
Koper extends along the Adriatic coastline with its historic center positioned on a former island, featuring Venetian Gothic architecture and modern port facilities.
The settlement originated as Insula Caprea during Roman times, transformed into Justinopolis in 568 when citizens of Tergeste sought refuge from Lombard invasions.
The municipality operates under a bilingual system where both Slovene and Italian languages hold official status, reflecting the region's multicultural heritage.
The Port of Koper functions as Slovenia's primary container terminal, managing maritime traffic between Asia and Central Europe through its strategic location.
The Praetorian Palace houses one of Slovenia's oldest bells within its 12th-century Cathedral of the Assumption, displaying medieval architectural elements.
