Tartini's square is encircled by remarkable buildings. One of the oldest houses is Tartini house (see the photo: on the right side ) where Guiseppe Tartini was born. The house was renovated between the years 1985 and 1991. Now, it is used for cultural events, exhibitions and various workshops. On the first floor there is the Tartini Memorial room, containing many interesting exibits as: the death mask, the master's violin, the music score pages... Leave a Comment

To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Tartini's birth the people of Piran decided to erect a memorial to him in the middle of the square. Leave a Comment

Just outside the Hotel Tartini is Tartinjev trg (Tartini Square), named after Giuseppe Tartini, a violinist who has a statue in the square. Around the square you can see:
Town hall-late 19th century, it's the building with the four pillars and the relief of a lion reading an open book which symbolizes peace
Old court house, adjacent to the Town Hall
Venetian House at no. 10-ruby red in color, the oldest building on the square dating to the 15th century
Tartini's house-where the musician was born in 1692 (open to visitors for a small fee)
St. Peter's Church, we didn't go inside, you can visit and see one of the three Crucifixes of Piran (the others are in Split Croatia and Kotor Montenegro) Leave a Comment

This is very old photo, taken in 1985, rather yellow already.
Nowadays it isn't allowed to park the cars next to the Tartini's monument. Leave a Comment

Since Piran is a small and compact town, I was not surprised that the main square was also small and not interesting. You can walk around the whole area in 10 minutes. Anyway, you can find little shops and restaurants nearby.

I have to admit that I have never heard about Tartini the composer and musician.But the square were his monument stands is absolutely lovely!

It is one of the oldest buildings in Piran where the wellknown virtuoso violinist, composer, teacher and inventor was born, documents from the year 1384 mention it as "Casa Pizagrua".
The museum on the 1st floor houses the musician's funeral mask, some music scores, various portraits, frescoes, an oil portrait painting of Tartini and his violin, a prestigious "Amati".
By the way, Tartini invented a violin bow and taught violin to many students. Among his compositions are sonatas and concertos for violin and other instruments.
One sonata nicknamed the "Devil's Trill" became world famous because Tartini pretended it had been dictated to him in a dream by the devil. It was a very clever PR, wasn't it?!!
The tricentennial of his birth was celebrated by a concert in the St. George cathedral in 1992.
The Birth house was recently renovated in the late eighties, when interesting frescoes were uncovered during renovation works.
