Lovran's old town, though small, is incredibly endearing. The ancient town, known as Stari Grad, is a maze of winding stone streets, majestic monuments, churches, and townhouses dating back centuries. The church of St. George in the middle of the town dates back to the 12th century, and its one-of-a-kind yellow church tower was constructed in the 17th century, making it one of Lovran's most prominent landmarks. However, just a tiny fraction of the ancient town wall remains. The town tower offers a great viewpoint, and the Stubiza Gate, which leads into the old town, has all been carefully conserved.
