The Pivka region was a strategically important location since ancient times, however, it became even more important with the construction of the railway from Vienna to Trieste in 1857 and the railway from Šent Peter na Krasu to Rijeka twenty years later. In 1930, while it was under the Italian control, the strategic hills over the town were heavily fortified and included in the Alpine Wall system of defenses.
The Park of Military History Pivka, which was established in 2006, holds one of the biggest and possibly most diverse military history collections in this part of Europe.
