Izola is an historic city on the Slovenian Adria coast.

The idyllic old town and atmospheric, narrow streets date back to Roman times. However, from 1280 to 1797, Venice ruled the old fishing city and characterised its appearance. Thus the famous Venetian-inspired Palazzo Besenghi Degli Ughi was created, a Baroque palace built at the end of the eighteenth century.

The Big Square at the old harbour is framed by several picturesque buildings. It was there that the colourful life of a harbour city took place under the rule of Venice. After the fall of the Serenissima followed the Habsburgs.

In the new town with its beautiful buildings and small parks, a Mediterranean lifestyle is the order of the day and the time of being part of Military Zone B and Yugoslavia is now a thing of the past.

Izola has blossomed once again and its long history has been preserved for future generations.
