The Castle of Celje

In Slovenia we have a very special holiday on the February 8th – a Cultural day or a day of France Prešeren. On this day all the galleries, museums and other cultural sights open their doors for the visitors and offer a free entrance. Today I decided to take this chance and I visited the Castle of Celje, which already took my heart many years ago.

The Old castle of Celje is partly in ruins, but that doesn’t make it less charming. It stands high above the city of Celje and gives a visitor a great view from its walls. It’s built from a few tracts and most of them are accessible for the visitors. The tallest point of the castle walls is the Frederick’s tower.
