PRAETORIAN PALACE

Built in the ^15th century, the Venetian Gothic palace fell into disuse several centuries after the fall of the Serenissima. Since 2001, major renovation work has given it a new lease of life, and it once again stands out on the famous Piazza Tito. A small marvel of architectural elegance, the historic building now houses Koper's town council, returning to its original function. Alongside the Slovenian flag, the Italian flag flies on the façade, in recognition of the Transalpine minority.
