Trojane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trojane (Latin Atrans), is a town in Central Slovenia. It lies on the hill near the border of two Slovene regions Carniola (Kranjska) and Styria (Štajerska). Until the highway way finished in 2005, Trojane was on the main traffic way from Ljubljana to Maribor.
Ancient Romans have built a Roman road spanning Aquileia-Emona-Atrans-Celeia. This was a very important road, military, post and market place, and the town was surrounded by a defensive wall.
The archaeological remains of Atrans can be still seen in Trojane. In the Roman Empire Trojane (Atrans) was on the border between Italy and the province of Noricum.
A famous Trojane's doughnuts, originally with apricot jam filling are well known.
