History of the town:
The town's history began in 973 when Emperor Otto II granted the territory of Loka to Bishop Abraham of Freising in the Duchy of Bavaria. However Loka named in that deed of donation wasn't looking like now, but only a part of the town which is now known as Stara Loka (Old Loka).

In the Middle Ages the town of Loka was starting to spread around the confluence of the rivers Selška Sora and Poljanska Sora. The bishops of Freising renamed the centre of their lordship Škofja Loka and in a 1274 has received town privileges. In the early 14th century construction of a town wall began including five gates, each of them protected by a guard tower; most of it is still well preserved. The history shows that the town was many times faced by attack, fire and earthquake. The worst of the earthquakes in 1511 badly damaged the town which was later rebuilt by prince-bishop Philip of Freising. From that time on the image of Škofja Loka was just slightly changed so today it is now known as the best-preserved historic town in Slovenia. Old town core is consisted of the upper town square called Plac and the lower town square called Lontrg, both dominated by Škofja Loka Castle.
