A concert held in Tartini trg a day before the Slovenia celebrate the Independence DayPiran History
After the fall of Roman Empire Piran changed many rulers. But the prosperity of Piran as a city began with the rise of Venice with whom they had signed a trade treaty in 933 AD. Since it had a good trade position and was also successful at harvesting salt, a precious item at the time, Piran started to gain power which led to war with Venice 1282 AD. After that Piran was loyal to Venetian rule and enjoyed time of relative peace and prosperity.
The Slavs that inhabited the area since 7th century was allowed in the city in the 1463 by the city council and became the part of history of Piran
In 1692 was born Piran's most known person Giuseppe Tartini. His most famous work is the "Devil's Trill sonata", a solo violin sonata. He died in 1770 and is buried in Padova
The 1797 saw the end of Venetian era. First Napoleon and then Habsburg monarchy took over the rule over Piran which lasted until 1918. After the World War I the city and the whole of Istria was captured by Italians and it stayed that way until the end of World War II when Piran and Istria joined the Yugoslavia after the plebiscite. Since Slovenia vote for independence in 1991 Piran is a part of the slovenian coastline.
Lively history of more than 13 centuries and many connections to Italy, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia makes Piran a multicultural community with many sites worth visiting.
