Tartini Square (Piran)

Tartini Square (Piran)

At the end of the 13th century, this square became the central square of Piran, and in the second half of the 19th century, it got the look it still has today.Part of the harbour was filled in, creating a spacious market platform around which all the important buildings in Piran are built, in particular the municipal and court palace. The square is, of course, named after the famous and internationally recognised local; violinist and composer Tartini, who took the name of his birthplace and introduced it to the world.                Photo: © Nik Jarh
