ABOUT THE TREASURE

What: Historic Town, Fortress
Where: Slovenia, Stanjel, Karst
When: Late Middle Ages, Baroque

The town of Stanjel is located on a picturesque hill in Slovenia. It was already the Romans that came to like the place and built a stronghold on the top of the hill. During the Middle Ages the village covered the whole hill and later was surrounded by walls. Look up and you will see the white Fortress. The Middle Ages and the Baroque have left their mark on it. The Gothic St. Demetrius Church, built in the 15th century, is a real treasure. There, you can find a marble plate featuring the fortress. Thus you will discover how it looked in the late 17th century.
When you walk along the narrow streets of Stanjel you should listen to the stone houses. They will tell you the stories of masters that had used the stone to describe their experience. The streets end up in small squares: a meeting venue for old and young.
