Organised by Obalne galerije - Coastal Galleries the international conference Piran Days of Architecture has taken place annually since 1983 in November in the medieval coastal town of Piran. Its aim is to assess current trends in architecture and present the most progressive and innovative ideas of architectural and spatial production.

The event is held in the beautiful surroundings of Tartini Theatre, and traditionally accompanied by the International Architectural Exhibition of recent works by Central European architects. The distinguished Piranesi Award is granted for best achievements in architecture along with two Piranesi Mentions and a Student Piranesi Award.

Part of the exhibition is the international student's Piranesi exhibition, presenting selected projects from eight different Faculties of Architecture (Ljubljana, Maribor, Graz, Vienna, Trst, Pescara, Zagreb, Split). The exhibition is presented at the Piran City Gallery. The international jury is composed of participating speakers of the conference.
