Celje

Celje (Roman, Celeia) is Slovenia's third largest town. Celje is built on the Savinja river and is the economic, cultural and educational center of the Savinja Basin.

Town status achieved in 1451, though its history stretches back to early Iron Age Illyrian settlements and was settled by the Romans in 15 BCE.

Tourist sights of the town include a Minorite monastery founded in 1241 and a palace from the 16th century.
