Dating back to the 13th century, Škofja Loka Castle was largely destroyed by an earthquake in the 1500s. Today, the building provides a home to one of Slovenia's finest museums, with cultural, artistic, historical, archaeological, and ethnological collections. Visitors also have a chance to explore a preserved farmhouse in the castle garden, dating back from the 16th century.

2. Capuchin Bridge

Although tiny in size, Capuchin Bridge remains a big attraction for anyone looking for photo opps in Slovenia. The stone bridge leads from a monastery and serves as a town symbol, dating back from the 14th century. It also provides a good vantage point for seeing the rest of the old town and the castle. To capture the best bridge photos, go over the footbridge crossing the river just east.
