A bit of history
Koper is not just the largest seaside town in Slovenia, it is the capital of the Slovenian Istria and the country's main seaport. In the old days, Koper was on an island with the strange name of Goat, and by 1825 the island was connected to the mainland, but so far, paying tribute to tradition, the city is divided into the mainland and the island.
The mainland is a modern city: the houses here are high, and the construction is close .The island part has a completely different appearance: cathedrals, old houses with tiled roofs, the architecture of which clearly shows the influence of Italian traditions .This is understandable: the Slavs settled here in the 8th century, a century later they established close ties with the Venetian Republic, and by the 13th century Koper was annexed to Venice .As it often happens, the Venetians, defending Koper from external enemies, gradually became full masters of the city .Hence the Italian style of architecture, cuisine, music .Even the language here is two full-fledged: Italian and Slovenian .
