St. George's Parish Church, Parish church in Piran, Slovenia
The Renaissance church stands on a hill above Piran, featuring a bell tower modeled after St. Mark's Campanile in Venice.
Construction of the current structure began in 1592 and concluded in 1614, replacing an older church from the 12th century.
The church houses numerous Renaissance artworks and architectural elements designed by Venetian stonemason Bonfante Torre.
Visitors can access the bell tower for a fee and explore the church interior except during religious services.
The former graveyard in front of the church now functions as an observation point overlooking the Bay of Trieste.
