Streets squares and districts to visit Koper

The only square on the Slovenian coast to rival Piran's famous Tartinijev square! And yet, the Venetian style here seems quite austere. The cathedral was "baroqueized" in the ^18th century, as was the Praetorian Palace to the south of the square, formerly the town hall in the days of the Serenissima Republic. To the north, the Loggia houses a historic café, built in 1462. In the 17th and ^18th centuries, the establishment hosted authors and great thinkers. In 1831, Stendhal, then French consul in Trieste, was seized with admiration.
