Holy Trinity Church (Slovene: cerkev sv. Trojice, Italian: Chiesa della Santissima Trinità) is a historical building in Hrastovlje, a village in southwestern Slovenia. There are two hypotheses about its origin. According to the first, it is a Romanesque church from the 12th century. According to the second, it is an example of the Istrian variant of Early Venetian Renaissance architecture from the 15th century.
The church stands behind a wall that the local population built to protect itself from Turkish attacks in the 16th century.[1] Such defensive architectures are found throughout the territory settled by Slovenians and are called tabor.
