The Church of the Annunciation of Mary, first documented in the late 13th century, boasts a diverse array of historical artwork. Notable pieces include a painting of Holy Sunday attributed to Johannes of Ljubljana's workshop (circa 1460), a Gothic depiction of Saint Christopher from 1464 on the south wall, another rendering of Saint Christopher on the bell tower, and remnants of 14th and 15th-century frescoes adorning the north wall of the nave. Within the church, four gilded altars from the 17th century stand at the juncture of the nave and chancel. Above the altar dedicated to Saint Martin hangs a whale rib, steeped in local legend as the rib of a giantess. Historically, the church served as a significant pilgrimage site, marked by numerous wayside shrines along the routes leading to it. The journey from Škofja Loka to the village of Crngrob takes approximately 30 minutes on foot.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as Koper Cathedral, stands as the Catholic diocesan seat in Koper. Erected in the latter half of the twelfth century, the church originally followed Romanesque architecture, featuring three naves culminating in apses. Over time, renovations in the late 14th century introduced Gothic elements to the western facade, further altered after an earthquake in 1460, blending Renaissance features. The tower, reminiscent of an Italian bell tower, offers panoramic views and houses one of Slovenia's oldest bells from 1333. In the early 18th century, Venetian influence prompted baroque transformations directed by Giorgio Massari. These included embellishments such as paintings by Venetian artists Pietro Liberi, Celesti Andrea, Antonio Zanchi, and the renowned Vittore Carpaccio. Carpaccio's 'Holy Conversation,' dating back to 1516, stands as the cathedral's most significant artwork.
