The city
A stone village perched on a Karst hill in the municipality of Komen, one of the oldest settlements in the region. Surrounded by 15th-century walls, it has narrow streets, the Church of St. Daniel with a lemon-shaped tower, and a castle with an art gallery. Below the walls lies the Ferrari Garden, designed by Max Fabiani, who served as Štanjel’s mayor between the wars.
