The history of the Stud farm and lipizzan horses is closely intertwined with the Habsburgs who ruled as many as 650 years over an extensive part of baroque Europe. Horses, the Spanish horse was considered an ideal breed, were at the time a crucial strategic advantage and were thus of outstanding importance to the Habsburgs.
The soil and climate of the Karst are very similar to that of Spain which is why the Archduke Charles chose to build the royal stud farm in 1578 in the Karst in the abandoned summer residence of the Bishop of Trieste in this area.
On 19 May 1580 he signed an agreement to restore the estate. Lipica is the oldest European stud farm continuously breeding one of the oldest cultural horse breeds. As such it has a remarkable significance as a cultural, historical and natural heritage for Slovenia and Europe.Trieste is the most international city in the region, suspended between a glorious past of ""Little Vienna on the Sea"" and the present cosmopolitan city. From the Audace pier to the old Lanterna, there is a succession of sails, antique shop window displays, shops and beautiful buildings: in the distance, one can glimpse the white profile of Miramare, the romantic castle of Maximilian and Charlotte of Hapsburg. A journey of discovery of the city's history, literature and art, from the Roman era to medieval wonders, to the Habsburg splendour. The wealth of architectural styles in the palaces in Trieste is remarkable:Neoclassical, Art Nouveau, Eclectic and Baroque, coexisting in a harmonious blend with Roman remains, eighteenth century buildings and Hapsburg style buildings. Taking a coffee break in one of the historical cafes of Trieste is a real ritual that is absolutely not to be missed and whose appeal has spread even through word of mouth.
On the steep Pelješac slopes of the second largest Croatian peninsula -Pelješac -there are picturesque vineyards cultivated on scarce soil, stolen from the mainly rocky terrain and maintained by hard work of generations of winers.
Award winning wines are the result of hard work by the people in love with their land. It is an absolute imperative to taste wine in one of the wine cellars. The Walls of Ston were built after 1333. when Ston became a part of the Republic of Dubrovnik.
Their purpose was to defend the Republic and the peninsula. The Walls are 5,5 kilometers long. They are the first longest walls in Europe and the longest walls to defend a city. They were erected in order to defend Ston, Mali Ston and its profitable salt pans. Ston has value as a planned city built, according to Dubrovnik layout.
Field of the Ston municipality reveals a story about history, from prehistoric times until today. The story of the time and culture is evident from numerous archaeological sites, churches and chapels, stone mounds and walls, remains of the Napoleonic road and monastery. All this creates a story about the time and Culture of Ston region.
