Celje Castle is arguably the most famous and largest castle ruin in all of Slovenia. In the Middle Ages, it was the seat of the Celje family – one of the most powerful aristocratic families in Europe. The castle, like the city center of Celje, is surrounded by greenery. Slovenia's largest medieval castle, a fortress on top of the hill, still towers over all roads leading to the center of Celje. After a tour, you can relax in the picturesque surroundings.
