Hrastovlje

Nestled in the hinterland of Slovenia’s Istrian coast, the small village of Hrastovlje is set among picturesque hillside vineyards. The village is primarily known for its Holy Trinity Church, a 14th-century structure that houses original Gothic frescoes, including a well-preserved danse macabre. This three-nave church stands protected behind a high defensive wall, which dates back to the 16th century. Visitors today can explore the historic church and admire the intricate frescoes, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich cultural and artistic heritage.
