The ambience on the top of the St. George church's bell tower returns us to the year 1608.

The church bells are from different time periods - the oldest one has rung through the atmosphere of the town of Piran from before the time Columbus had "discovered" America.

Piran is old Mediterranean town which is situated at the cape of the Piran Peninsula in Slovene Istria. The town is actually one large museum with medieval architecture and s rich cultural heritage. Narrow streets and tight houses display the charming atmosphere of the town.
