Kostanjevica na Krki: Faces of Arcitectural Heritage

The old town centre of Kostanjevica was declared a cultural monument in 1997 because of its long history and continuity of the settlement, spatial organisation and preservation of the original land-parcel grid.

The layout of the old town core follows the spatial organisation from the 13th century, when Kostanjevica was granted town rights.
The exhibition has been conceived with the wish to draw the attention of the public, particularly the inhabitants of Kostanjevica na Krki, to the elements of cultural heritage that are threatened. The aim of the exhibition is to encourage a responsible attitude towards heritage, which not only provides a high quality living environment, but can also be an exceptional tourism product. For this reason, accompanying events ranging from creative and educational workshops for children to a series of expert lectures, will attempt to establish a dialogue between the owners or users of the heritage of the island town, representatives of the local community and expert services.
