1.     Introduction


I have prepared this seminar work about the town of Šempeter because I live there and I work as a school secretary at Ivan Rob Elementary school in Šempeter.
So I would like to learn as much as possible about our town, because when a foreigner comes I want to tell him or her a lot about life and interesting sights in Šempeter.    










2.     General data


Šempeter-Vrtojba municipality was established in 1998. Mr Dragan Valenčič, an

economist, has been running the municipality since then. Two years ago he won his third mandate.

     History

The area of today's Šempeter was settled already in the 12th century BC. In the Roman period, the settlement was named Torgium. Its name »De sancto Pietro« was first mentioned around the year 1200 in a list belonging to the Counts of Gorizia. In the Middle Ages, documents referred to the place as »prope Goritiam«, meaning »near Gorizia«. Since then its name has not changed.

Church

The construction of a church – St Peter's Church – began in 1425. Unfortunately, during World War I the church was destroyed. It was immediately reconstructed after World War I.




The Coronini Castle is situated in the centre of Šempeter. It was built at the end of the 17th century and at the beginning of the 18th century. The family Coronini-Cromberg owned the castle.




The watchtower

This eight-meter-high tower is the smallest museum in Slovenia. Until Slovenia's declaration of independence, it was used by the Yugoslav army. Jakob Marušič, a historian, and Boris Blažek, a designer, decorated the interior with various photographs depicting everyday life along the Slovene-Italian border.



Hospital

Šempeter is also a very important health service centre - General Hospital Dr Franc Derganc is situated there. It opened its doors right after World War II, in 1945.



Šempeter’s surrounding

Šempeter and its surrounding can be referred to as the garden of Goriška (Slovene region) with numerous woods, vineyards, fields, meadows and gardens.

On the slopes of the Markov hrib (Mark’s Hill) stands a villa, named Mafejšče (Maffei), which was probably built at the beginning of the 18th century

Tourists who visit Šempeter can taste many delicious specialities of the Mediterranean cuisine at the Lipa Hotel, situated on the main Šempeter square, or the Mark restaurant on the top of Mark’s Hill.

Preserving the tradition

The national costume has undergone many changes in the past centuries. Today we know which clothes were worn at the beginning of the 20th century. They are very interesting, beautiful and play a very important role in preserving the national tradition.



4.     Education

There are two schools in Šempeter, one of them is Ivan Rob Elementary School and the

other is Secondary School for Agriculture and Food-processing.

Ivan Rob Elementary School was opened in the school year 1965/66. The school is named after Ivan Rob, who was a writer, poet and satirist.

It is one of the most successful schools in the region of Severna Primorska. There were 653 pupils in the 1965/66 school year. In the current school year - 2008/09 – there are 589 pupils. The school of origin in Šempeter has 502 pupils, whereas its two branches in Vrtojba (77) and Vogrsko (10) have 87 pupils.

The school has also a nursery school with four units: Mavrica (Rainbow) and Žarek (Ray) units are in Šempeter, Sonček (Sunny) is situated in Vrtojba, and Zvezdica (Small Star) is in Vogrsko. There are 247 children at the nursery school.

There are 146 people employed at the school – 65 teachers, 45 educators and 35 technical staff members.
