Story · Celjski grad

You're standing at Celje Castle, high on a ridge southeast of the town. Down below, the river Savinja winds its way into the valley towards Laško. This was once the largest fortification on Slovenian soil, and the most important castle in the entire eastern Alps. The whole complex covered almost 5,500 square metres.
