Climb through the city’s history
The journey upward is not only a physical climb, but also a walk through centuries of life in Koper. Every step brings you closer to a time when the bell tower was an important part of the city’s defenses and today offers a unique glimpse into its past.
A view to remember
At the top, a panoramic view awaits, revealing Koper, the blue sea, and the green Istrian countryside, stretching on clear days all the way to distant mountain peaks. A special touch is added by the ancient bell, which still echoes today as a living part of the city’s heritage.
Important information before your visit
The climb is exclusively via stairs, so it is suitable for visitors in good physical condition. We recommend comfortable footwear and readiness for a slightly more demanding but rewarding ascent, ending with an exceptional view.
