Ptuj

Slovenia
Picture
A small sized city in north-eastern Slovenia is certainly one of the greatest cultural treasures in Europe. In the past, Ptuj was an important crossroad between the East and the West, and the famous Amber Route ran through it in prehistoric times. The city experienced two important development peaks in the history: at the time of Roman colonization and in the late Middle Ages. Besides its rich architectural heritage, Ptuj also boasts a great diversity of cultural heritage, which is primarily
maintained in a number of traditional events, among which the largest ethnographic festival in Europe – Kurentovanje carnival.
