A magnificent message in the midst of pristine karst nature.

Above the Vipava Valley and the sea, on the edge of the Karst plateau, rises the Cerje viewpoint. Here the Peace Memorial was built, 25 meters high, which preserves precious historical and artistic treasures. The imposing building is set in the heart of a natural amphitheater from which panoramas open up in all directions: towards the Adriatic Sea, the Friuli plain, the Julian Alps and the Vipava Valley.

The seven-storey monumental fortress tells Slovenian history: from the Freising Manuscripts, the oldest preserved Slovenian writings, to the crucial events of the Great War, fixed on canvas by the Slovenian painter Rudi Španzel with the title The Dance of Life and Death , or even the Slovenian Guernica, up to the period of the anti-fascist movement TIGR and the war for the independence of Slovenia. The viewing platform at the top of the building symbolizes the gaze into the future. On the 4th and 5th floors of the Peace Memorial, exhibitions of various established artists are regularly staged.

A trip to Cerje is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the beautiful sights, culture, tranquility and peace.
