Over a third of the country's territory lies within the Europe-wide network of Natura 2000 protected areas, while other valuable areas have been proclaimed major parks and reserves. Nature has combined and interwoven great natural riches in this small piece of Europe and granted Slovenia extraordinary variety and diversity that is still well preserved today. The Praetorian Palace, with its late-gothic-renaissance façade is among the finest Slovenian palaces and houses a museum. Palaces are mostly in coastal towns, especially Koper. Slovenian towns are decorated with luxurious buildings, usually converted into public buildings. Most of them can be explored from the inside. Castles, manor houses and palaces are certainly an important part of the heritage. The special features of rural architecture vary from region to region, and are gathered together in open-air museums. Well-preserved medieval town centres and more modern public buildings in various famous architectural styles will delight you. Cultural-historical monuments and architectural masterpieces can be found in most Slovenian towns. Slovenian castles are amazing, and the many rural hilltop churches are charming. Slovenia's natural diversity further emphasises the attraction of important buildings. Truly old items are preserved primarily in museums, but archaeological finds can also be seen in their natural setting. In Slovenia, you come across different historical eras at every turn. But this is the result of the resilience and determination of the Slovene people, whose culture and common language have survived for centuries in this green piece of Europe. For many it is surprising that such a small nation, without kings or famous military leaders of its own, could even form, survive and carve out an independent path. Independent since 1991, Slovenia does not have a majestic history like many larger European nations, but the past is nevertheless important. In Slovenia it is not difficult to compare the value of goods and services, as they are priced in one of the world's major currencies, the euro. It has an exceptional number of top athletes, and a wealth of cultural creativity. This small green country measures 20,273 km 2 in area, and is home to sincere, hospitable people of great diligence. Slovenia lies in the heart of Europe, where the Alps meet the Mediterranean and the Pannonian Plain meets the Karst.
