Walls of Piran, Defensive wall system in Piran, Slovenia.
The fortification structure stretches across the southern edge of Piran peninsula, featuring multiple gates and towers along its perimeter.
Construction of the defensive system began in the 7th century, with subsequent expansions during Venetian rule between 1470 and 1538.
The walls contain seven preserved gates, including the Gothic-styled First Rašpor Gate and the Renaissance-styled Marčana entrance from 1534.
Visitors can access the walls through a steep uphill path from Tartini Square, with entrance fees of 2 euros for adults.
The cylindrical tower section of the fortification provides complete views of the Slovenian Adriatic coastline and the entire peninsula.
