SKOFJA LOKA

Skofja Loka is a small town located 20 miles from Ljubljana.  The town is one of the oldest in Slovenia, along with Piran and Ptuj.  Although the name means "Bishop's Meadow", Skofja Loka was once known as "Painted Loka" because of all the brightly painted frescoes on the houses of Mestni Trg.
