Ptuj was plagued by numerous fires in the 17th century, crippling trade and development as the city burned almost completely to the ground. Fearing the constant flames, the city's citizens dedicated themselves to Saint Florian and erected a monument to him in the town square in 1745.

The city of Ptuj, also known as Pettau, is the oldest city in Slovenia and is located in the historic region of Lower Styria. It is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and landmarks such as Ptuj Castle and the City Tower. It's a great place to cycle and stroll. How about relaxing with a delicious ice cream or a hot coffee?

One of the most important buildings in the old town was designed at the beginning of the 20th century by the Viennese architect Max Ferstl. Over a hundred couples get married in the building's wedding hall every year and many Ptuj residents spend many a Saturday morning drinking coffee in front of the town hall and watching the brides and wedding guests.
