The village of Sveta Trojica in Slovenske Gorice attracts visitors especially because of its Baroque church and its three imposing towers. One of the stops for pilgrims, a tiny but cosy village square is often over-crowded with visitors.
A settlement below the monastery was established on the crossroads of Ptuj, Maribor and Radgona, and received market rights in 1872. Transport, pilgrimage and fairs brought prosperity to the settlement, which, due to a lack of industry, could not follow the general development of the region. The urban layout of the village consists of a market core with a funnel-shaped road and rather densely constructed northern part, and of the older southern part with individual houses arranged in a way typical of the region. In the core, there are some nice classical houses, a triangular sign, a monument to victims of the Second World War, and a memorial plate to a doctor and writer, Lojz Kraigher and one of his guests during 1910 and 1911, Ivan Cankar.
