The 15th- century corner building known as the Venetian House still survives. It is the most beautiful example of Venetian Gothic architecture in Slovenia.

Nice house in the Venetian Gothic style from 15th century with a picturesque balcony in the corner. In building's face there is also a scuplture of lion with an latin inscription meaning "Let them say". According to the legend this writing was ordered by a marchant who fall in love with girl about whom people were talking that is unfaithful. Leave a Comment Directions: Tartini Square

While the town hall is the most eye-catching building in Tartini square, the most beautiful building is probably the Venetian house. It's a the - century corner building known as the most beautiful example of Venetian Gothic architecture in Slovenia. The pink façade is a bit garish but it doesn't quite seem out of place and probably shows how this "square" would have looked like in the past. The decorations are truly stunning Leave a Comment Address: tartini squareDirections: in the centre of town, to the right of the town hall, when looking at it

This charming red palace is one of the most beautiful example of Venetian Gothic architecture in Piran. It was built in the middle of the 15th century, and is the oldest preserved house at the Tartini Square.
The corner Gothic balcony is the most ipmressive detail of the building. Between the windows on the second floor there is an immured stone relief with a standing Venetian lion, under the lion you can read the inscription "Lassa pur dir" (let them talk), and it is connected with the love story of an local girl and her boyfriend from Venice.

According to the legend (which i learned from our handy Lonely Planet guide) this beautiful Venetian House in the city's main Tartinijev Trg was built by a wealthy Venetian merchant for his lover from Piran. The gift generated gossip, so the merchant added a message to the facade. It translates as: "Let them talk."
The little balcony on the side is my favorite though :) Leave a Comment

Piran is not so large, but just be sure not to forget to visit Tartinijev Trg (Tartini Place). It is the beating heart of the small town, a meeting place where you will find everything and it is still very well preserved in its original Venetian style. Leave a Comment

When the Venetians came to Piran after the fall of the Carolinian Empire in the late 13th Century, they built a lot of buildings as a memento of the power of their Republic.
In the Tartini Square, the centre of the medieval Piran, stands the most beautiful building of the square, the Venetian woman’s House with a typical balcony and window trifora, one of the many examples of architecture in the Venetian Gothic style in Slovenia.
The facade bears a stone heraldic plaque with the initial B and a lion holding in its paws a ribbon with the inscription "Lasa pur dir", around which a legend arose.
According to it, a rich local maiden fell in love with a Venetian merchant. When he was away, evil tongues made the girl's life ever difficult. As a result the sportive merchant had the stone plaque with the inscription "Let them talk" put on the house.
Inside, there's a tiny gift shop selling salt from the nearby saltpan of Secovlje. Directions: North side of Tartini Square

A most beautiful red house (The Venice House) at the nord-east corner of Tartini
Square built in the middle of the 15th century is the oldest conserved house in
Tartini Square. Between two windows stands a lion on a quarry plate with an
inscription “Lassa pur dir” (Let them talk). An interesting legend is narrowed
why this inscription was made.
Long time ago when Piran was under Venice rule, the town experienced an
exceptional flourishing and prosperity. Very important traders from all over the
world came to Piran to trade. They were very powerful and rich. When they were
waiting for the deal, they were socialising with the people in Piran. One time a
very important trader felt in love with a local girl who were very poor. He was
coming often to Piran and he was bringing here precious present and later he
decided that he would build her a house with the balcony so she could wait him
on the balcony when he was arriving to the town. The other girls were very
jealous and they started to talk ugly think about the couple. However, when the
house was complete it was so beautiful that the gossips started to get uglier
and uglier. The couple for it owns defence made a plate with an inscription
“Lassa pur dir”. Leave a Comment
