Piran, Slovenia's most beautiful coastal town, owes its development to its traditional salt pans, where high-quality salt is still harvested today. The town impresses with its medieval ring wall, church, and numerous cultural attractions.

Formerly the Piran Salt Pans, is a natural park with an area of 6.5 km² near the town of Seča in the municipality of Piran, Slovenia. They are located in the Bay of Piran right on the border with Croatia. The nature park is bordered in the north by the St. Bartholomew Canal and in the south by the Dragonja River. The northern part of the salt flats is called Lera, the southern part is called Fortanigge.

The Piran salt pans, which were built in 804, included the salt pans in the area of today's Marina (Lucija, Portorož), the smaller Strunjan salt pans and the larger Sečovlje salt pans. The areas of the two preserved salt pans are now protected as landscape parks. The Strunjan Landscape Park inspires with its impressive cliff coast, while you can get to know the traditional salt production in the Sečovlje salt pans on guided tours or visit the salt works museum.
