Strunjan (pronounced [stɾuˈnjaːn] ; Italian: Strugnano) is a settlement in the Municipality of Piran in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]

Geography

[edit]

The Strunjan Nature Reserve, located along a 4 km stretch of Adriatic coast to the north of the settlement, is the longest section of unspoiled coastline in the entire Gulf of Trieste.[3]

Marian apparition

[edit]

The former monastic church, now the parish church, in the settlement is dedicated to the Marian apparition at this place, in the night of August 14, 1512.[citation needed]

Events

[edit]
Persimmon Festival, 2005

Since 2001, Strunjan has held an annual persimmon festival (Slovene: Praznik kakijev) every November. Together with the Vipava Valley and the Gorizia Hills, Strunjan has a favorable microclimate for persimmon cultivation, producing 30% of Slovenia's annual persimmon crop on about 20 hectares.[4]
