SAINT MAUR'S CHURCH

The first religious building was erected in 1356, on which, in 1547, a church was rebuilt several times over the centuries. Fortunately, the Renaissance design and Baroque modifications have been preserved. To see inside: beautiful 15th century paintings and 17th century frescoes. The Istrian stone belfry is over 30 m high. You have to climb its 99 steps to reach the best viewpoint of Izola. With this tower-belfry, which gives the Slovenian town its distinctive silhouette, the church is much visited.
