Guided Tour of the Legends of the City of Piran

Together, we will delve into the legends of this fascinating and ancient place. You will encounter the fire that gave the name and the water that baptized the boats of the salt miners; you will hear scores written in collaboration with the fallen angel and admire the archangel dancing in the winds. You will hear how the city's evil-doers endured the mockery carved in stone amidst triforiums and Gothic balconies. We will climb the hill to the Church of St. George to be carried away by the magnificent view of the Gulf of Trieste and the city center. Here, you will discover the legend about the wrath, punishment, and redemption of the layman who succumbs before the saint. We will descend through the streets of yesteryear to the old center, ending in the square that was once the city's "mandracchio" and now bears the name of Maestro Tartini.
