Monastery of St Claire with a Church

Located near Giordanov trg Square is the former monastery of St Claire with a church, which was built in the Middle Ages (13–14^th century) and expanded in the 16^th century. The single-nave church was built in the 17^th century and decorated in the Baroque style. The monastery was dissolved at the beginning of the 19^th century. The yard space was later named after the first Greek president – Ioannis Kapodistrias, whose family was originally settled in Koper. A statue of Ioannis Kapodistrias has adorned the square since 2001.

Nowadays, the Koper Regional Archive is housed in the monastery of St Claire.
