Graveyard Church of St. Hermagoras and St. Fortunatus
Some sources suggest that as early as 1765, the Piran town council considered relocating the graveyard from its current location in the parish garden to a site outside the town walls. However, the new graveyard was not constructed until the Napoleonic period in 1812, following plans by Pietro Gregoretti. In the 1860s, during a significant expansion of the graveyard, architect Giuseppe Moso designed the graveyard church of St. Hermagoras and Fortunatus, along with the entrance vestibule, in a typical neo-Gothic style. These structures were consecrated by Monsignor Bartolomeo Legat, the bishop of Trieste and Koper, in 1862.
