Fascinating building dating back from when Koper had only one entrance and exit. Also it's very close to square!

Once upon a time the town of Koper was situated on a small island. In 1278 it became part of the Venetian Republic and it was fortified with a defensive wall, which ran around the island. This wall had 12 gates that lead the travelers into the town. The city wall is now mostly gone and Vrata Muda remain the only one of all the original city gates that are still preserved. They were built during the reign of the Venetian Republic, on the initiative of the then city podesta (this was the title of the chief Venetian administrator of Koper) Sebastiano Contarini, in the year 1516. They were built by Marino de Vedelo, according to the plans of the famous workshop of Lombardi from Venice. The gates, like all the rest of them, were built in the renaissance style and were modeled on the antique Roman Triumphal Arches. It is interesting to note, that Vrata Muda were built on the site of a small bridge, which connected the island with the mainland. For that reason they were also known as »Porta della terra ferma« or the land gates. On them one can still see the most important symbol of that era – the Lion heads. The lion in fact was the main symbol of the Venetian Republic. There are also stone carvings of the Sun to be seen on the gates, which is now the main symbol of the city of Koper. The Muda gates were one of the most important city gates in the middle ages, because many people who traveled to the island, passed through here. That is the reason, why the city officials set here a station for collecting taxes on all the goods that people brought to the city. It is from the Italian name of this tax, that is called “mitnina” in the Slovenian language, that the gates got its name “Muda”. The gates are very beautiful, renovated and very well kept. Nowadays they are one of the main historical attractions of the town. And of course, they can be also a great background for nice photographs. If you are entering through this gates into the old town, pay attention to the wall with a small door on the left side. That wall is what remains today of the old city walls. In the past those small door used to be a side door to enter or exit the town, especially when the main gates were crowded with people and wagons of all sorts.😻
