Castle Podsreda, located on the northern slope of Mount Orlica, five kilometres apart from the market place in Podsreda, is one of the most important preserved representative buildings of Romanesque heritage in Slovenia. The insufficiently explored history of the castle is compensated by the surprising expressiveness of the eighth century - old masonry with an almost intact original core.

The Cistercian monastery in Stična is one of the most important cultural, sacral and architectural monuments in Slovenia and is the oldest existing Cistercian abbey in the South East part of Europe. The first buildings were built between 1132 and 1136. The monastery soon became the religious and cultural centre of Carniola. It became also the medieval trade centre of this region.

The Cathedral of St. Nazarius in Koper was built in the 15th century and contains a number of precious artistic works of Venetian masters. Worthy of note are the Byzantine ivory chest (between the 9th and 12th centuries), the chalice, the big monstrance from the 15th century, the bust of St. Nazarius and the miniatures of the antiphonary.

The beginnings of Laško, situated on the banks of the Savinja River, went back to Celtic and Roman settlements. The architecture of the old part of the town dates from the early and late Middle Ages to present time. The Parish Church of St. Martin in Laško with its choir from the first half of the 13th century is a significant example of Romanesque religious architecture.

Ptuj is one of the oldest towns in Slovenia. The provost church of St. George is one of the most important monuments of medieval sacral architecture in Slovenia.
