Koper is the largest city on the Slovenian coast of Istria. It is the administrative center of the Municipality of Koper and an important port city. The city has two official languages, in addition to Slovenian, Italian.
Port of Koper is located near Koper, which is the only international cargo port in Slovenia. The old town lies on a former island, which joined the mainland with embankment and natural route. A new town center and harbor were built in the inhabited area, and new residential neighborhoods were created on the surrounding hilly slopes. The University of Primorska has been operating in Koper since 2003. The most important cultural institutions are the Regional Museum Koper, bilingual schools, the Study Library, the television and radio station. The historic old town, marked by many important cultural monuments, has preserved the basic features of the Middle Ages. Belgramoni Tacco Palace is located in the heart of the Old Town. It was built in the early 17th century and is one of the most beautiful baroque - mannerist buildings in Koper. The palace has two names because it was played by a member of the Belgramoni family on the cards and the building then passed into the property of the Tacco family. After the extinction of the family, the municipality dedicated it to cultural activity.
Belgramoni Tacco Palace is protected as a cultural monument of national importance. Today it houses the premises of the Provincial Museum of Koper, which preserves the cultural heritage of the northern part of Istria, since prehistoric times and with the greatest emphasis on the Venetian cultural period.
