Tartini House

Tartini House is a residential building with neoclassical features and ornamental decoration located at Tartini Square in central Piran. Its interior spaces display different stylistic periods, with each room preserving distinct design elements from various eras.

The building was originally constructed in 1384 as Casa Pizagrua and underwent several structural changes over the centuries. In 1692 it became the birthplace of renowned violinist Giuseppe Tartini, giving the building its current historical significance.

The house is named after the renowned violinist born here in 1692 and serves as a place where visitors can experience the musical and artistic traditions of the region. The rooms reveal how music and local history are woven into Piran's identity.

The house is easy to find as it sits directly on Tartini Square in the heart of Piran's old town and is accessible on foot from all parts of the center. Visitors should expect compact rooms typical of a historic residence, so comfortable walking shoes are a good idea.

During renovation work in 1991, workers discovered hidden frescoes beneath multiple layers of paint, revealing artworks that had been concealed for centuries. This discovery allowed experts to better understand the artistic history of the building.
