Things to do in Koper

Koper is the largest coastal city of Slovenia. The city was founded by the Romans on what once was an island, which has later been reconnected to the coast through reclaimed land. Under Venetian rule for centuries, the city eventually passed under the Austro-Hungarian Empire and after WWII to Yugoslavia. The palaces on the main square date back to the 15th Century, but the cathedral is even older (second half of the 12th Century) and has the oldest bells of the country, dating back to 1333.
