The only church on Tartinijev Trg [Piran Square], the relatively diminutive St Peter has roots going all the way back to 1272, but took its present classical form in 1818. An exquisite relief above the main entrance depicts Christ bestowing the keys to the Heavenly Kingdom upon Peter.

Despite obvious differences, the consistency of interiors, say with those of Modica, Sicily, is interesting.
This part of the world was once Italian or more specifically Venetian. The place has an Italian look to it.
I am so pleased you show many churches, Cherie
I am glad you enjoy my posts about churches
Don’t you think that statues look kind of creepy,all lined up like that? I love this church!
If you mean the first picture they aren’t statues…
The statues in the second picture I don’t find at all creepy.
