The whole Istria (or Istra) peninsula was actually part of the reign of italy between wwI and wwII, and had common history from the 13th century (after the Republic of Venice that lasted 500 years, the area was shortly ruled by Napoleon and then passed to the Austro-Hungarian empire)
A relevant Italian community lives there (around 6% of population), needless to say that for history, culture and geography the italian north-east and parts of Slovenia and Croatia are very tightly bound.

Very beautiful photos of the "Slovenian" coastal towns. Slovenian in quotes because this part of the world has actually always been Italian until after WW2 when it was passed to Slovenia. Ironically the actual Slovenian coast is now part of Italy. |

Thank you , Miran , for your kind words .
I had a great unforgettable day in Koper and Piran . I had no photographic primary goal in this trip ,so the pics are more snapshots . So this time I had no problems because I was losing too much time shooting one subject Thus , my pics are classic vacation ones

Yes, the area between Trieste (Slov. Trst) and the Isonzo river (Slov. Soča) is originally Slovenian (as well as most of inland Istria and Carst and regions further to the north and east), the rest of the coast has been Venetian for centuries. This division is quite obvious by the architecture and even more so if you go further inland to the area that has always been under the Habsburg empire and never under Venice. Different parts of the land passed hands between Venice, Napoleon and the Austian-Hungarian empire as empires rose and collapsed over centuries. Then after WW1 and especially after WW2 things really got messed up when first Italy took a lot of land from Austria and then gave some but not all back to (then) Yugoslavia. When they drew the final borders in 1947 they left a lot of Slovenians in Italy and about the same number of Italians in Yugoslavia. It's tragic in many ways. Just a little local history for you.
Btw, those tall palm trees you seem to have liked so much are not indigenous. They brought them here a few years ago from I don't know where for a lot of money. I think more than half of them already died and it's just a matter of time before they all do. The climate is too harsh for them. |

I like history ,so, thank you .I was aware about the territorial problems and because I made my homework (as usual) before leaving. Your post is very useful , because clarifies some details that are not very clear in my documentation material ,and I didn't find any serious travel guide about Slovenia in Romania (wich is unfortunate) .
About the palm trees The same happened here in Romania at Constantza on the Black sea , where Publius Ovidius Naso was exiled .After 2000 years some notabilities here decided to do the same as your folks in Koper and brought palm trees .Probably to rise nostalgic memories to the poet's statue ,wich wasn't impressed at all The palm trees were very impressed by the harsh winters , and you can guess the rest _________________ Cheers , Teo
