The thousand-year-old Abbey, whose origins are still unclear, has represented in the past and continues to represent today, especially thanks to its geographical location, a point of connection between East and West, where different cultures can meet and dialogue. Built around the year 1000, the abbey church is in Romanesque style and is dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle. It bears the signs of renovations over time, and architectural elements dating back to different eras (early medieval, 16th-century, and 19th-century) can be found.

The medieval village of Šmartno is one of the most beautiful villages in the central Brda region. Built on Roman foundations, it is now considered an architectural gem and cultural monument. Behind its walls, it leads back to the rich and picturesque stories of the past and reveals the charm of Brda hospitality. The village of Šmartno is located in the geographical center of Brda, with views stretching from Nanos in the east to the Carnic Alps in the northwest, and from the vast Friuli region to the Adriatic Sea. The village, surrounded by walls and fortified with defensive towers, was first mentioned in 1317. In the first half of the 16th century, a medieval fortress was built on the remains of a Roman outpost around the church. The village served as a border fortress until the mid-18th century, when the Venetian threat was over. The houses in the center are grouped around the Church of St. Martin, the largest parish church in Brda, after which the village was named. The church's bell tower was originally a fortress tower. The bell, featuring the motif of the Three Kings, dates from 1857. The Baroque church features three marble altars, one of which is particularly rich. The presbytery and the Stations of the Cross were painted by Tone Kralj.

On the 321-meter-high Mejnik, a hill above the village of Gonjače, stands a memorial dedicated to the victims of World War II and a lookout tower, offering the opportunity to take one of the most beautiful photos of Goriška Brda. The memorial in Gonjače is dedicated to the 315 victims of World War II, located on the right bank of the Soča River. Next to the memorial is a 23-meter-high lookout tower with 144 steps, built in 1961. In good weather, the tower offers panoramic views of various parts of the region: Brda, the Julian and Carnic Alps, the Dolomites, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Gulf of Trieste, the Karst, the Vipava Valley, and the Trnovski gozd. The architect Marko Šlajmer designed the tower.
