City Municipality of Koper

Koper extends across 304 square kilometers of coastal terrain, connecting Slovenia to the Adriatic Sea through its strategic position near the Italian border.

The settlement originated on a rocky island called Insula Caprea during Roman times and transformed into Justinopolis during the Byzantine period in the 6th century.

The municipality maintains both Slovene and Italian as official languages, reflecting its location at the intersection of Mediterranean and Central European influences.

The Port of Koper functions as Slovenia's primary container terminal, processing cargo shipments between Asia and Central Europe through its maritime facilities.

The Praetorian Palace from the 15th century stands in Titov Square, representing the architectural heritage from the period of Venetian control.
