Basilica of Mary of the Assumption

The Co-Cathedral of our Christ the Saviour is a beautiful contemporary architecture building. It was built in 1982 by architect Franc Kvaternik. It was declared co-cathedral of the Diocese of Koper by Pope John Paul II in 2004, being the first co-cathedral in Slovenia.

The Kostanjevica Monastery is located in Nova Gorica, Slovenia, just 200m from the Italy–Slovenia border. It was founded in the 17th century by Carmelite nuns. The complex was damaged during the First World War. Until the Second World War, the monastery belonged to the Italian town of Gorizia. After the establishment of the Yugoslavia-Italian border in 1947, the Kostanjevica Monastery became part of Nova Gorica, on Slovenian territory.

The Church of St. Ignatius was built by the Jesuits between 1654 and 1747. The interior is decorated with marble and wooden furniture from the 17th century.
