Piran Town Walls
Mestno obzidje
Medieval walls and towers preserved on the hill behind the old town. From the battlements you can see Piran's red roofs and the classic view of the bay at sunset.
The walls were built in the 15th–16th centuries. A surviving section has seven towers and crenellations. You can climb to the tops of the towers along the walkway, overlooking the church bell tower and the Adriatic, making this Piran's most popular sunset photo spot. Admission is about 2–3 euros, and the opening hours are shorter in winter. From Tartini Square, it is a 10–15 minute climb up the steps.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–21:00 (seasonal hours)
