Škofja Loka, a
thousand-year-old city at the confluence of the Poljanska Sora and Selška Sora rivers, was the center of the Loka dominion owned for 830 years by the Bishops of Freising, who placed an indelible stamp on the city.
The old city core boasts numerous points of interest from the past, and the
Loka Castle, built before 1202, reigns above the city.
Škofja Loka is considered the most
beautifully preserved medieval city in Slovenia.
Its rich cultural heritage intertwines with unspoiled nature, earning the city the name “
Gallery in Nature,” while the picturesque and colourful house facades fostered yet another: “
Motley Loka.”
