Streets squares and districts to visit Izola

The square boasts two interesting houses. The Manzioli house (1470) with its Venetian-style windows, and the birthplace of Lovisato (^16th century), a historical scientist who pioneered research into continental drift. Restored almost twenty years ago, the square is now home to the official Italian minority community. The town's oldest church, St. Mary's, dates back to the ^11th century, but is rivalled by St. Maur's in terms of tourist interest.
