Cultural Heritage

Tolmin’s special features are its old town centre, a modern sports park and thousand year old castle ruins at Kozlov Rob. Throughout the region one may come across a multitude of vestiges from the World War I. The most beautiful monument from that time is undoubtedly the church of the Holy Spirit at Javorca , which was built on a superb location above the Polog shepherds outpost in the Tolminka valley by Austro-Hungarian soldiers to commemorate their deceased comrades. The museum, library, schools and the town’s open spaces provide venues for a variety of events, exhibitions and presentations all year round. Tolminska proves also a popular destination with Slovene and foreign artists.
