Baroque facades, red roofs, the sun reflecting in the turquoise water. Piran is today one of the most beautiful towns in all of Slovenia. Behind the beauty and the splendour, for centuries there has been only one product: salt, the white gold of the Middle Ages.

Extinguished Countries is the first guidebook series about countries that no longer exist. We don’t follow today’s borders but take you on a journey through former states. We travel transnationally and through time and space, looking for what unites us rather than what divides us. We are launching our first guidebook about the Republic of Venice, in March 2020. 
This podcast tells some of the great stories you will find in the guidebook. These episodes are currently being broadcasted around Europe in English, French and Italian, but you can also find them here! 
Every episode will take you to a different part of the Republic of Venice, discovering a place, a tradition, a myth… Where does the word “ghetto” come from? Where was Marco Polo born? Are there still any pirate in the Adriatic sea?
Find out the answers in our podcast!
