Celje occupies a river-valley position on the Savinja in eastern Slovenia. Once the Roman town of Celeia, it later became the seat of the Counts of Celje, a powerful medieval dynasty whose three stars are now incorporated into Slovenia’s national coat of arms. Celje Castle rises on a hill above the town and remains the most prominent reminder of that era. The compact centre combines historic streets, civic squares and riverside walks, while the surrounding Savinja Valley links the city with Slovenia’s wooded interior.
