Venetian House
One of the best examples of Gothic Venetian architecture in Piran, the unmistakeable red palace was built in the middle of the 15th century and is the oldest residence still standing on Tartinijev Trg. According to local legend it was commissioned by a wealthy Venetian merchant in order to prove strength of his love to a beautiful young Piranese girl and win over the less than supportive townspeople. We don't want to ruin the ending for you, but they can probably fill you in on the details if you ask at the Piranske Soline gift shop that now occupies the ground floor.
