Piran Town Walls

The largest part of the preserved walls dates from the beginning of the 15th and the end of the 16th century and has become an integral part of the medieval city structure. The largest preserved section of the walls on the Mogoran hill has exceptional historical value and marks the end of the medieval town centre. The town walls were eventually completed between 1470 and 1534 and had eight crenellated towers. The external side of the walls indicates a typical defensive setting with a slight angle. It is also remarkable because of its exceptional height.*

    I love the picture, for some reason boats always look good. Wonderful place to visit I assume.
