Praetorian Palace
Pretorska palača

Visit a picturesque Venetian Palace in the charming coastal town of Koper.

The Praetorian Palace is one of the most historical buildings in the city of Koper, as it was originally used as a Venetian administrative building, and occupied later by the Austrians, being used as a city hall. Nowadays, it has been converted into a museum and a cultural centre, and the beautiful Venetian Gothic building is one of the most striking buildings in the town of Koper.

The building these days has plenty of different uses. If you’ve just arrived in Koper, you can visit their tourist information centre to learn about the attractions in the town. You can also learn the history of the ornate building and its importance over the years at the Palace’s museum, which offers guided tours that can be booked in advance on the Palace’s website. If you’re lucky during your visit to Koper, there may be an intriguing concert, exhibition, or festival being hosted in the ornate building. Make sure to check the events in Koper at the time of your visit, and see if any are taking place in the Palace during your stay.
