This medieval village is a showpiece of Karst architecture and culture. Štanjel, as one of the oldest settlements in the Karst, first enchants visitors with its unique panoramic views. The village is built on the picturesque terraces of Turn Hill, catching the eye with its famous buildings. The castle complex, the defence walls, the Church of St. Daniel with its lemon-shaped bell-tower, the nucleated village and the Ferrari Garden are the best recognisable architectural heritage of the old settlement, which has been altering its image over the centuries while always retaining the true soul of the Karst. The village was named after the patron, St. Daniel, and in many respects is a unique cultural monument.
