Brezice travel guide

Brežice (German: Rann) is city and municipality in Slovenia in Posavje, near the Croatian border.
Brežice is one of the largest municipalities on Slovenia's southeastern border with Croatia. Lying at the confluence of two of this nation's largest rivers, the Sava and the Krka, it also stands at the juncture of a number of important international traffic routes. Brežice prides itself on a rich historical and cultural heritage, the genesis of which predates the Roman era. The development of this district has been revealed by way of various archaeological finds and is also exhibited through a number of ethnological collections, the magnificent Brežice Castle and Mokrice Castle, several smaller manor houses in the vicinity as well as numerous churches. The Posavski Museum, with its archaeological and ethnological exhibits, Croatian and Slovenian peasant revolt and modern history collections, is one of the largest, richest and most beautifully arranged regional museums in the country. It is housed within Brežice Castle which, with its Knights' Festival Hall and unique Baroque murals, is itself a museum piece. From a more recent era, indeed this century, is the water tower which helps define the town's skyline, as well as the interesting double arches of the 527-m long iron bridge, which span the Sava and Krka rivers.
