1. ŠtanJel
V vrstah razporejene stavbe Štanjela, najslikovitejšega naselja
krasa, se dvigajo v terasah do vrha hriba, iz katerega se ponuja
prelep razgled na okolico. kamnite hiše z bogatimi kamnoseškimi
elementi, kamnite ulice, trgi, prelepi kraški kamniti vodnjaki, pričajo
o tem, da se arhitektura najbolje zlije s prostorom, če pri gradnji
upošteva material, ki prevladuje v okolici. pomemben del štanjelske
vedute je cerkev sv. danijela iz 15. stoletja s svojim nenavadnim
zvonikom limonaste oblike.
V Štanjelu naletimo tudi na dediščino dveh slavnih mož krasa:
inovator in revolucionar v arhitekturi Max Fabiani je eden
najpomembnejših evropskih urbanistov 1. polovice 20. stoletja. Vse,
kar je bilo v Štanjelu načrtovanega v obdobju med obema vojnama, je
njegovo delo.
V baročnem štanjelskem gradu ima svoje prostore spominska
galerija velikana slovenske likovne umetnosti, lojzeta Spacala, ki je v
svoja dela uspel ujeti samo bistvo čiste kraške duše.

teran
Med izjemno veliko količino odličnih vin, ki jih je danes mogoče
okušati po vsem svetu, je le malo tako zanimivih in drugačnih, kot
je kraški teran. posebneža temno vijolične barve, ki po srečnem
prepletu vremenskih razmer in posebne kraške zemlje, bogate z
železom, nastane iz trte refošk, so cenili že v rimski dobi. antični
kronisti ga opisujejo kot eliksir za moč in dolgo življenje, zaradi
velikega deleža mineralnega železa in mlečne kisline pa so ga včasih
v lekarnah prodajali celo kot zdravilo.
kraški teran strokovnjaki označujejo kot mlado, sveže, celo nekoliko
divje vino, ki pa si vztrajno utira pot v svet velikih vin.
The neatly aligned houses of Štanjel, the most picturesque village
in karst, are stacked on numerous terraces all the way up to the
hilltop, which offers dazzling views over the surrounding countryside.
Stone buildings characterised by fine examples of stonecutting
craftsmanship and stunning karst stone wells testify to the time old
adage that the best blend of architecture and the environment can
be achieved by choosing the predominant material present in the
surrounding area. a focal point in the Štanjel skyline is the church of
sv. danijel with its unusual, lemon-shaped bell tower.
in Štanjel we also come across the legacy of two prominent men of
kras. innovative and revolutionary architect Max Fabiani was one
of the foremost european town planners in the first half of the 20th
century. everything designed and built in Štanjel between the two
wars was his work.
on the other hand the baroque castle houses a memorial gallery
dedicated to a Slovenian grand master of fine arts, lojze Spacal,
whose works capture the very essence of the pure karst soul.
The exceptional selection of premium wines presently available for
tasting around the globe features very few that would be as intriguing
and distinctive as karst Teran. This unique, dark purple wine made from
the refošk grape is the child of a happy marriage between the climatic
conditions and unique, iron rich karst soil, and was highly prized even in
roman times. record keepers in antiquity portrayed it as the elixir of virility
and longevity, and due to its high content of mineral iron and lactic acid it
even used to be sold in pharmacies as medicine.
While experts have designated karst Teran as a young, fresh, and even
untamed wine, it has been slowly but surely making its way into the big league.
2. ŠKratelJnova domaČiJa
poslopja nekdaj najbogatejše domačije v divači predstavljajo etnološko
in arhitekturno dediščino izjemnega pomena, saj velja za pomnik zelo
domišljenega kmečkega stavbarstva, ki nam nazorno prikazuje, kako
so prebivalci hišo skozi stoletja uspešno prilagajali potrebam in načinu
življenja. Slavna pa je tudi zato, ker se je v njej leta 1907 rodila prva
slovenska filmska diva, ida kravanja, z umetniškim imenom ita rina,
edina slovenska filmska igralka, ki ji je uspelo doseči svetovno slavo. V
njeni rojstni hiši je danes urejena spominska soba, posvečena njenemu
življenju in delu, ostala poslopja pa bodo kmalu prenovljena in bodo
tako ponovno zaživela kot moderno zasnovan kulturni center in muzej,
posvečen slovenskim filmskim igralcem.

PrŠut ProSciutto
ni vsak pršut kraški pršut. nad mesno delikateso s krasa se
navdušujejo številni sladokusci po svetu. ostra kraška burja, groba
morska sol in najmanj eno leto dozorevanja pod skrbnim nadzorom
pršutarskih mojstrov, pa še kakšna skrivnost iz izročila starih očetov,
pričarajo nepozaben okus te slovenske specialitete. pravijo, da je
kraški pršut najboljši s kosom domačega kruha in kozarcem pravega
kraškega terana.
The buildings of formerly the wealthiest homestead in divača
constitute ethnological and architectural heritage of enormous
significance. We are talking about a masterpiece of highly
sophisticated farm architecture, which reveals a series of effective
improvements and modernisations made to the house through the
centuries by its resourceful residents. The homestead is also the
birthplace of ita rina (born ida kravanja in 1907), the first Slovenian
movie star and still the only film actress in Slovenia who has attained
worldwide fame. her family home now features a memorial room as
a tribute to her life and work while other buildings, which are about to
undergo a comprehensive renovation, will soon be transformed into a
modern cultural centre and museum dedicated to Slovenian film actors.
not every prosciutto is karst prosciutto. This sublime karst dry cured
meat is a favourite with numerous carnivore gourmets around the world.
harsh north-easterly wind, rough sea salt and a minimum one-year
maturation period spent under the watchful eye of prosciutto masters,
plus a secret or two passed down from father to son, produce the
unforgettable flavour and aroma of this Slovenian delicacy. They say that
karst prosciutto tastes best with a slice of homemade bread and a glass
of genuine karst Teran.
