Cerje Monument of Peace

At the edge of the Karst Plateau, on the Cerje lookout point stands the 25 metres tall Monument of Peace, keeping precious relics of history and the arts. It is placed in the heart of a natural amphitheatre, offering views on all sides of the sky, over the Adriatic Sea, the Friuli-Venetian Basin, the Julian Alps, and the Vipava Valley.

The monumental seven-floor tower speaks of Slovene history, from the Freising manuscripts, the oldest preserved records in Slovene language, across great historical events of the First World War to the anti-fascist movement and Slovenia's war for independence. The viewing platform at the top symbolizes facing the future. On the 4th and 5th floor, the Monument of Peace regularly hosts art exhibitions.
