In the Italian language, Izola (isola) means ‘an island’. Although in the course of time
the island became part of the mainland, its story is closely linked to the sea. Izola is
a picturesque mosaic of tradition, history, architectural sights and hospitable peo-
ple, a place featuring the harmonious coexistence of different nationalities. A host
of art galleries and pleasant inns can be found when walking along the streets of the
old city centre. Izola is also well-known for the Izola General Hospital that coope-
rates closely with the University, especially the Faculty of Health Sciences, which is
located right next to the Hospital.
