Opis
The parish church stands at the highest point of the old town, where a church has stood since the 6th or 7th century. The present building dates from the 14th century and took its Baroque form in the 17th. The bell tower is modelled on St Mark's Campanile in Venice and is topped by a rotating statue of Archangel Michael. The terrace beside it gives some of the best views of Piran and the bay.
