A section of the historic city walls, which were part of the fortifications protecting the city to the west. The northern section is open to the public, and its 4 watch towers are the highest points in Piran which means they offer fantastic views! The wall and towers have very narrow and low access with uneven steep steps, and not at all recommended for children or the elderly.
The Walls of Piran are the defensive walls of Piran, a coastal town on the Adriatic Sea in southwestern Slovenia. Significant parts of the fortification walls remain well-preserved.
