Slovenia is a country of churches and you are never too far away from the sight of a bell tower, whether on top of a hill or in the center of a city. Solitary churches on hilltops are a particular delight of Slovenian scenery, their location on the summit being linked to pre-Christian religious groups and the high refuges of the earliest inhabitants.

Among the churches you can view are antique Early Christian basilicas; pre-Romanesque chapels; Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neo-Romanesque churches; churches fortified with walls and towers against the Turkish raids are common. Outstanding architectural works of the modern age include works by the famous Slovene architect Jože Plečnik and others. Just of few of the most notable churches include: Bela Krajina, Rosalnice draws attention; in Štajerska, the Gothic pilgrimage church on Ptujska gora; in Prekmurje, Plečnik's church in Bogojina; in Primorska, Hrastovlje; and in Gorenjska, Brezje
