On the way to Piran, we stopped off at Koper, also on the Adriatic Coast, entering the seaside town by the gate above:
Soon we were in Tito Square with its beautiful City Hall (below):
And high bell tower (below):
Managed to catch the bishop fresco above the church door (below):
The road down to the sea was a narrow winding one:
Passing quite a few interesting things such as what looks like the Venetian seal below (I'm sure that I saw something very similar or exactly the same on the walls of both Kotor and Budva in Montenegro last summer):
But what caught my eye the most was the 16th century (fishermen and sailors') church of St. Nicholas:
Also loved the statue below which we saw as we neared the sea:
But, for me, the sea wasn't the most interesting thing in Koper:
Really wouldn't go anywhere near the kind of food below (I don't eat fish but I'm not vegetarian), although, of course, some people might love it:
Still, I liked the three iron giraffes towering above the small dockyard:
And really liked my last shot from Koper, the Adam and Eve engraving below:
