Fodor's Expert Review Hrastovlje Church of the Holy Trinity

Hidden behind the 16th-century defensive walls of this small town is the tiny Romanesque Cerkev sveti Trojice (Church of the Holy Trinity). The interior is decorated with a remarkable series of frescoes, including the bizarre Dance Macabre, completed in 1490. The church is locked, but if you ask in the village, the locals will gladly open it for you. Alternatively, you can make arrangements to visit at the tourism booth in Koper beforehand. From Koper, take the main road toward Ljubljana, then follow the signs for Hrastovlje, 22 km (14 miles) from Koper.
