    About Ptuj

    Nestled along the banks of the Drava River, Ptuj is a charming town in northeastern Slovenia, steeped in rich history and cultural heritage. As one of the oldest settlements in Slovenia, Ptuj boasts a fascinating past dating back over two millennia. Its strategic location made it a significant Roman outpost, known as Poetovio, and later a bustling medieval market town under the rule of various noble families.
