The port of Piran is the charming heart of the city, a small, sheltered harbor right next to the historic center

Today's Piran Town Hall is located on Tartini Square and serves as the seat of the city administration. The building dates back to 1879 and was renovated in the neoclassical style. On the façade, a stone lion holding an open book symbolizes Venetian rule in Piran. The Town Hall is not open to the public as it serves as an official administrative building. The interior is also not open to visitors, however, the building is noteworthy for its architectural value and historical significance.

At the end of the 13th century, this square became Piran's central square, and the town square acquired its current appearance in the second half of the 19th century. The central Tartini Square was created by filling in the inner harbor, and impressive buildings with historical features were built around the town square, such as the town hall and the courthouse. Naturally, the town square was named after the composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini, who helped make his birthplace known worldwide.

Each of the summit crosses, which hikers often encounter at prominent locations, whether with or without the body of the crucified Christ, invites passersby to a brief spiritual rest. Perhaps one or another will be able to encounter God here in a brief prayer. As a prerequisite for a completely different mystical experience of encountering God, beyond such a small sacred monument, Hape Kerkeling, who made a pilgrimage on the Camino Frances in 2001, writes: "I am becoming freer here every day (...) Through all the emotional frequencies, I slowly tuned myself into one frequency and had a wonderful reception. Total, serene emptiness is the state that creates a vacuum that God can then completely fill in a relaxed manner." (Hape Kerkeling in "I'm Off Then")
