; located at the tip of the Piran peninsula on the Gulf of it is a gem of the Adriatic coast This medieval town boasts a stunning oval-shaped square, named after the violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini, who was born here. Tartini played an important role in shaping the towns's cultural heritage. The town's main square, Tartini Square, was  named after him. In 1892, the 200th anniversary of his birth, a monument to Tartini was erected in Piran. The statue dominates the square, overlooked by the Cathedral of Saint George. Piran also offers a variety of beaches, where you can swim, sunbathe, or enjoy the fresh seafood. One of the loveliest towns along the Adriatic coast, Piran (Pirano in Italian) sits prettily at the tip of a narrow peninsula. Its Old Town is a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture.

+ The town was annexed to the Austrian Empire in 1797; but during the years from 1806 to 1814, it was ceded to the Napoleonic Empire. On 22 February 1812, the Battle of Pirano was fought between a British and a French ship of the line in the vicinity of Piran. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Piran was an Austro-Hungarian town with over 15,000 inhabitants. It was a flourishing market and spa town with good transport connections. The first trolleybus line in the Balkans was introduced to public service on 24 October 1909 in Piran.

+ After WWI, together with Trieste and all Istria, the town was ceded to Italy. With the defeat of the Axis powers in WWI and the rise of Tito's rule, Piran was assigned to the Free Territory of Trieste, under Yugoslavian administration. The town was annexed to Yugoslavia in 1954. Much of Piran's population chose to emigrate to Italy or abroad in the final phase of the Istrian–Dalmatian exodus, rather than stay in socialist Yugoslavia. The annexation to Yugoslavia was ratified in 1975, with the municipality becoming part of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia. Until the mid-20th century, Italian was the dominant language, but it was replaced by Slovene following the Istrian exodus. Since 1991, Piran has been part of independent Slovenia. The territorial claims of Croatia and Slovenia in the Gulf of Piran remained a matter of debate in the Croatia–Slovenia border disputes that began after the dissolution of Yugoslavia.

+ Piran is now the seat of the Euro-Mediterranean University of Slovenia (EMUNI), founded in 2008 as one of the cultural projects of the Barcelona Process: Union for the Mediterranean. The Piran Coastal Galleries, a public institution is based in Piran.
